My old escort turbo used to sound immense. I brought it like that though. Cant beat the sound of a turho spinning up. How do i do this on my golf?

dv is what gives the "chattering" as you say when you come off the accelorator, panel filter/CAI will  make it a little louder and proberbly make the turbo spool sound louder, exhaust normally helps i guess cause i can hear the turbo spool through mine a little

i was told that better turbo intake pipe and then induction kit and you'll hear it.

i just have a induction kit on my and i can hear it going :P nowhere near as loud as the Focus ST's was though

I can hear mine spool up quite a bit. Full Milltek Non res, Forge turbo intake pipe, .:R32 DSG intake mod and a performance panel filter are probably contributing to that. I have a Forge 007P DV fitted so I dont get flutter, just a discrete "tssh".

A simple cone filter will release loads of turbo spool and some dump valve woosh but you won't get any chatter out of a 1.8t unless you revove the dv completely which isn't a good thing to do on these engines. If your getting chatter then in isn't functioning correctly.

was gonna say turbo chatter is bad. is turbo chatter not the turbo stalling?

So just an induction kit needed then? Do u need any hoses or anything or does it just come with the kit?

its compressor surge slowing the turbo down. i dont think it ever stalls completly your never gonna make a golf sound like a supra skyline evo etc no matter how much you bolt on to it..
