Default new turbos

the warmup tea kettle is gone. wow. I'm just breaking them in, but what a difference. much stronger now.

btw, I hate pilot sports a/s. I need to burn them up so I can put some summer tires on. Unless I pull something off with Audi, looks like I'll be keeping this car. Shi-at. over 20k in warranty work since I bought it in september. ka-ching. still no tag & title.

Default By tea kettle do you mean the sounds after startup?

Mine rumbles for about 1 minute then something clicks off and she's good to go.

If that disappeared for you with new turbos, does that mean that the sound isn't actually normal, like I've read here, and it could be related to a turbo issue?

Default That is normal...it is the car warming up the catalytic converters for emissions purposes. Should

stop about a minute after startup.
