99.5 A4 1.8t apr 93 octane.

i know the turbo whine doesnt make a car fast, but i still like the noise. I AM NOT talking about DV noise. just the whine. after driving a few B6 1.8t's and a passat 1.8t i'm just wondering why you can hear their stock turbos better than mine. i swiss cheesed the airbox and with the 93 octane chip it should be a whole lot louder.................so whats the difference between my B5 and a B6 or passat and what can i do to change it. thanks

i hear mine fine, what filter are you running? did you upgrade exhaust

Disconnect the oil supply line to the turbo and plug it . Run the turbo for 2 minutes. They you will hear real loud turbo whine as your bearings go out.

filter is k and n box filter, swiss cheesed airbox, stock exhaust. look, i'm just trying to figure out why a bone stock B6 or passat is very noticeably louder..........there has to be some difference.

Turbo's- The lag is there to give V8's a chance.

fine. i can get an intake. i'm sure it will help but at the same time i don't particularly like too much intake engine noise.

the point is something about a completely stock B6 or in this case the 03 passat i drive that is different than my car that makes the turbo very noticeable from inside the car. Again i am talking about completely stock cars. I was just wondering if anyone out there knows what is different about the stock versions of these cars that makes that turbo noticeable. thats all.

i appreciate all help but i'm aware getting an intake will make it louder. just looking for the difference in the stock A4's. thanks again

aren't the b6's and the passats 180/190 hp cars v the b5's 150/170 hp...... there might be more technology between models, is the b6 a fwd car, cause the passat even if it is 4motion the engine sits with turbo by firewall which would make it closer to the cabin maybe that is why


like i said, i just swissed the front of my box, not the bottom... have a k&n drop in and i hear my turbo.... hard to hear over the rice can i have on the car now, and might be when i get the new magnaflow and tp, too....... but when i had my cone filter i heard it even better than i do now and i heard my dv really well.. now no dv noise, but that is cool
