Default turbo noise??

i finally had a chance to cruise in my new TT with the windows down(bought the car in NOV, havent had 1 day where it's been warm enough to do so), and with the windows down i finally heard a faint taste of what i've been hoping to hear for a long time... turbo whoosh it was really faint, but definitely there.. my question, is there any way to amplify that? do the 225s have a different turbo? i know its a rediculous question and that common sense says no, but i finally got a taste of that beautiful sound, and i'd sure like it to be a little more audible!

Default Turbo noise was more prominent in my old Mitsu Eclipse GSX than with Audi.

Same with old Volvo 850T.
I love the sound, too.

Default 225s do have a different turbo than the 180s, still pretty faint tho...

On cold days I can hear it spool pretty clearly. One of the Stage 3 guys posted a sould clip of their car with aftermarket downpipes, cats and a large diameter exhaust(and of course the big freaking turbo) and you could hear the turbo spool very clearly, very cool

Default My woosh is pretty prominent, even with the windows up, and heater on!

I have an '01 225. I hope that's normal and not indicative of a problem! I love that noise.

Default What noise?

My 225 is almost silent. Compare that to my supercharged Miata that sounds like a Boeing 747 spooling up!

Default Stage 3 fixes that very well.

Not only can you hear the woosh from the turbo but you also get cool noises from the tires squeeling and the exhaust rumbling.
