Why would you want turbo whistle?

Niiice noise. Or is it just me?

I dont particularly like it, the novelty wears off.

trust me, the growl when you put your foot down beats the sh1t out of the turbo whistle  :cool:

I quite like hearing a turbo 'sing' - but I positively detest the stoooooopid 'psssssst' from blow off valves!

I agree. The Chav soundtrack of choice. Nothing sounds less classy.

Less road presence.

clearly you haven't passed one yet!  i drove past a mk 5 in black today.  while in my mk 6 in black.  no comparison, and i love the mk 5.  the mk 6 is far more standout, particuarly from the back.  i could feel the jealousy from the other side of the road  :cool:

The Mk5 Gti front was easily identified by other drivers.
The Mk6 gti front looks a little too much like a normal granny golf.

The huge and ugly rear end of both cars is nothing to be proud of.
