    Turbo spool sound?

    Hello I was just wondering if any of you who own a 162TSI 2017 Tiguan has heard any turbo sounds like spooling or if it's a very quiet turbo.

    Turbo spool sound?

    They are engineered to make the turbo as quiet as possible as 99.99% of owners would not want to hear it and would probably think something was wrong with the car if they did hear it. Go get yourself an aftermarket intake and a tune and you will hear it.

    +1 above plus intake inlet pipe and turbo muffler delete will make turbo spool sound more pronounced and louder

    I love the singing of a turbo in full song. My first experience with turbo chargers on my petrol powered road cars began mid 1975.
