yea, makes a very high pitch sound whenit spools up

 

we are talking 100% stock, not with any mods

 

how do you hear a k03 spool up? a k03 is almost always spooled up already. the sound u people hear is the turbo working and sucking in air through the intake, although i have a hard time understanding how you even hear that tiny thing making 8 lbs of boost...

 

i know my car dosnt hit 20lbs of boost i mis-read what cincy said, his said psi not lbs. my bad. and thank you for answering my questions, like i said, thats what ive been told in the past so thanks for clearing it up. i always thought lag was how long it takes to reach peak boost, but once again thanks for clearing it up. just dont write so condecending next time.

 

psi=lbs per square inch psi=lbs and sorry.

 

As far as I know my car is stock... I can hear my turbo spool and dv go off every single time clear as day, i should make a sound clip

 

it is. but since you never drop below where the ko3 peaks crusing, it doesnt lag

 

it is, the k03 hits peak boost practically as soon as you hit the gas which means virtually no lag.

on a bigger turbo, when you hit the gas, there is a small amount of time before you see the boost gauge go from vacuum to, say, 20 lbs of boost. that time is when the turbo is spooling up (takes a while to get to over 200k rpms), and then it hits full boost and is sucking in a LOT of air, creating the sound which most people hear.

 

ok so i had pretty good reason for getting this all confused. ive just been into cars in general a lot longer then ive been into audis. u guys gotta give me some time to catch up. but thanks again.

 

typo? [8D]
