we i ask when your 100% stock, not chip no intake if you can/could hear the turbo. Someone on a differnt forum claims his friends 100% stock A4 you can hear the turbo loud and clear. I have yet been in a car that was 100% stock and was able to hear the turbo or dv over the engine and road noise

I'm 100% stock and I can hear it at low speeds spool, but if I get on it like on the freeway no all I can hear is road noise, but then again I have a 2003 Silverado with intake and throttle body spacer and I love redicuously loud whistle so my ears are trying really hard to hear the turbo this being my first nice car.

I was able to hear it spool a bit but not real clearly. I heard the DV a handfull of times but not too often.

not at all.

if you're in a b5 and can hear it, you've got some insane hearing abilities.

by the way, i should clarify. i never heard the turbo on any 100% stock b5 or b6, but i can definitely hear it on b7s/2.0t engines.

I remember when I was stock I could hear it in 1st and 2nd up until about 4k then the other noises got too loud. You had to be listening for it or you could miss it however. It was no where near as loud as it is now.
