Default It seems to be timing and Octane related.

I noticed more timing = more noise. I still need to verify my findings, they are based on very little experimenting.

Default Timing....

Some engines actually get quieter from more timing.

More timing typically = more power with less 'calculated engine load', so you tend to get less of the "BAWWWW" heavy load sound at low to mid RPM.

Of course, those who are chipped B7's are running more boost (and more cylinder pressure, which = greater volumetric efficiency/load) due to added boost and timing, so it's probably going to be louder.

Mine is a little louder with the APR flash, but the engine sounds healthier. it "sings" now.

Audi should be shot for depriving the engine from timing so badly in stock form.

I like that :-)

I will try other brand 93, and then 91.

Default I think now that your chipped your stepping on the pedal a little more and just now noticing your en

gine at higher rpm's. The 2.0T overall is just a louder engine chipped or not.

2.0 Exhausts get louder at about 10-12k. there was a thread about it a while back.
