Undo the rubber hose going to the front of the turbo, CAREFULLY remove the snap-ring in front of the silencer ring, pull out the silencer ring and then hook up the rubber hose back to the turbo...DONE!
No perfromance gain what-so-ever, just get to hear that sweet turbo sing it's song!! ;D

It probably goes back in easier than coming out. It can be a little tricky getting the first edge of the snap ring out and then nothing to it after that.
