Can you hear your turbo stock
ORIGINAL: auditech79
When i drove all the "stock" 1.8T's at work i really couldn't hear the turbo on the manual cars, i could hear it a lot better on the automatic models, probably because it has a lot more load.

I remember when I was stock you would have to be trying to hear it to hear it. But now with a chip and intake it is very distinct. Also when you drive down a narrow road or one lined with parked cars you can hear the boost echo back into the car, awesome sound; now you know what other people hear when you blow by.

Another reason it's really hard to hear the K03 on a stock car is because of the sound absorbing material/liner on the bottom side of the hood. That soaks up any sound that you might thinkyourK03 mightbe making. I cannever really recallhearing the turbo when my car was stock. Thenwith the exhaust on it, thetone of theexhaust makes it hard to hear much else...althoughmuchquieter than a leaky flex-pipe.
