I love leaving the car in 5th and accelerating from 35 just to hear the spool!!! I hope the turbos are fine, but sounds like they may be one the way out

Same here, but it's no dentist drill so I'm happy about that.

Yea definitly no dentist drill, just a nice spooling sound coming from the engine, I have to turn the music down and roll the windows down to hear it though.

Exactly...I'm starting to think that the previous owners were nice to the car

A spool is on thing.... a whistle is another. You can def tell the difference between the two. I have ko4's on my a6 and my friend has dying turbos on his s4. You can hear the spool loud and clear when i hit it. When he hits it all you hera is the turbo with a whistle. Ask any audi master tech at a audi store. That sound is NOT a sound you would like to hear. Spooling is waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy different than a whistle. Unless you don't know the difference between the two. I would say take it to a audi master tech and he will be able to tell you what is wrong very shortly.
