I hear my turbo stock. Its actually quiet loud. A buddy of mine didnt know i had a turbo and heard it while he was next to me and said it sounded pretty damn loud. Now the bottom skid plate on my car is not there anymore so i assume that has alot to do with it. But i hear my clear.

 

I got a 2.8, but my friend as a 1.8T (completely STOCK, old lady used to own it) and you can definitely say that it can be heard clear as day. Being in TIP mode and redline it always helps increase the blow off sound

 

Quick question...does chiping your car affect the MPG?

 

seriously? i drove in AUDI05's b6 1.8T completely stock, just a forge splitter, just an intake, and both splitter and intake. also he is tiptronic. completely stock you can't hear jack ****, with just the intake the turbo is more audible, dv is slightly more audible but barely. with just the splitter the dv was audible but you couldn't really hear the turbo, with the dv and intake both were very audible.

 

under normal driving it increases your MPG, but most people see a worse mpg because there always running it harder than when they were stock.

 

Was in my friends new b5 1.8t couldn't tell it was one till he told me, didn't hear a thing.

 

I heard the K&N air filter helps a bit in sound as well.

 

ya you should, mine is pretty much stock, only thing i have is a baileys dv and i can't hear my dv, i can hear my turbo pretty well but i cant hear my bailey dv

 

loud and clear
