Hi all,

how many of you can hear your turbo spin?

I ask because since fitting my pipework on my intercooler see here (http://www.astraownersclub.com/vb/showthread.php?t=169864), I can hear the turbo much more than before!

I'm pretty sure there are no leaks in the setup too. It's a pretty cool noise don't get me wrong but was wondering if anyone else can hear it in their LET'd astra.

Thanks all

Dan

I can sometimes hear it in mine. K+N filter made it louder than standard though.

Mine whoooshes in a very strange way since it was rebuilt ... old calibra c20let whistled with a very high pitch sound ... z20let one whooshes in a low pitch sound ... almost as if its broken :redface: . Gauge showes normal boost levels tho
