Ok, you have asked about turbo whine, i know, its imagine to tell what "1000 screaming babies" sounds like, or what a loud siren sounds like(ok not really, but you get the point).

This is what a bad turbo sounds like...if you dont hear this, you are fine, for now.

Turn up your damn speakers, and click the link!!

if you cant tell what the scream is, then you dont deserve to drive an S car!!!!!!

 

MY GOD im glad my turbos dont sound like that. Good find! maybe this link should be copyed into the sticky?

 

Haha nice find! A normal turbo just "whines" under stress but bad turbos scream, and thats screaming. I think most of the people who ask the question have never had a turbo before and the extra sound scares em ...

 

exactly, but you cant blame, im sure we were all there once as well, at least i was, until i did some research.

 

Wow thanks for that. Now I understand the screaming babies analogy. That just sounds bad..

 

yes, its quite noticeable

 

Great find! Thanks! Now I have a better understanding.

 

Noob question - why would someone knowingly drive on bad turbos? Secondly, why would they drive like THAT on bad turbos?

 

thats a good question, most likely he was planning on replacing them really soon
