Upshift causes a "pop" or "snort" sound at high rpms
Hi everyone,
New 2011 TTS owner here and absolutely loving it so far!
Had a question about a rather loud pop or "snort" sound that happens when I accelerate hard. Seems to happen when upshifting at rpms above 4k or so... otherwise upshifting is virtually silent during normal everyday driving.
Is this normal behavior?
Thanks!

I wondered this too, and was recently told it is the sound of the turbo venting air to the exhaust during shifts, by way of a waste gate. That's why you only hear it during harder accelerations -- i.e. for shifts while the turbo is doing its thing.

Errrrr ... Is there a sound worse than that of gears protesting as you miss-shift 3rd-to-4th at WOT?
