Turbo sounds - Looking to buy 2001 Audi TT
Hi folks, newbie here so pardon the repeat questions. I found some threads related to this but need some help in layman's terms.
I'm looking at a beautiful 2001 TT Quattro, and took it for a spin. However the turbo doesn't whistle (should it?). Instead it makes a whoosh sound like a rush of air is being released.
Is this normal or is something wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer.

However the whoosh sound you are hearing (if its from lifting off the pedal or when shifting) should be the diverter valve/blow of valve which is releasing the unused boost from the turbo. THAT is normal, and what many people actually mod their cars for

Thanks guys. The previous owner installed a boost controller and it looks like the setting was way off. It was demanding a boost at about 1000 RPMs, which resulted in a loud rush of air. The mechanic dialed it back and it runs really nice. Should I just remove this setup? I have no intentions of racing or using it at all.
