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.

thats what im saying. The 150hp models dont move any air and the turbo is barely working. Your not going to hear it unless you are in a silent place, windows down, and have tons of load. Think the poeple voting clear as day are not 100% stock. Holes in the airbox and chips change the sound greatly

I can hear the turbo spool in first and second, sometime 3rd and Ive only heard the DV once when driving with my window down on a narrow street after I got off it in first. Then again, Ive only had the car for a week lol.

Mine is box stock at the moment, inside the cabin with the windows up I can't hear any turbine or compressor noise under normal driving. If I jump on it, there is a faint whine inside, but the Bose is more than capable of covering it up. Outside the car, you can hear it spool and boost, but I prefer the inside.

I couldn't hear sh!t untill I put the intake on. So 100% if you say you can hear it, I call shenanigans.

idk, when my car was stock i was able to here it spool through the whole gear in 1st 2nd and 3rd, and everytime i was on the gas hard and shifted gears i could hear the dv easily...then again when i first got the car i would drive with the windows down and almost no radio(i love the sound of engines) i was also listening for it most of the time, and you could hear it best on roads that echo cause of trees, buildings, trucks ect. basically what im saying is its very easy to miss if you dont listen for it, and also, i cant hear **** but my exhaust now 
**and also everyone thats saying they hear it before 3-4k rpms, im pretty sure your just hearing turbo lag cause i used to get that really bad when i was able to hear it.
LMAO, there is no lag on a k03. my k04 hits 23psi by ~2k
