whats yours sound like at 1800 revs?

[182_blue]

is it me or are Gti's a little noisy at the 1800 rpm mark ?, anything before or after that and its fine ?, but at that mark i find it a little loud (the exhaust i mean), do the GTis have a flap on the exhaust like i hear the r32's have ?

The ED30 with a Milltek sounds quieter if anything at low revs. Higher up it comes alive. GTI's at 1800rpm are just below the threshold for the Turbo kicking in and so I'd expect a better sound after 2k revs anyway.

Mine from the rear, but you'll get the idea

Hi 182_blue

My GTI sounds quiet at 1800rpm, just took it out to test. Windows down and in a quiet road its acutally very quiet. It gets a bit noisier around 2500 then starts to whistle after the turbo spins up.

One question for you, which Audi forum would you recommend as it looks like the wifes chosen her car at last.  

Oh well at least I'll get the GTI all to myself!!!

its odd, outside the car i dont know about, but in the car at about 1800 theres a sort of boom from the exhaust, if i drop down to 1500 it goes away, if i go over 1800 it goes, but if you keep it around 1800 imo its a bit boomy, same as when you back off, it reminds me of a aftermarket exhaust i once had (obviously its standard though)

It is probably a bit of resonance getting through between 1500 and 1800 revs. Resonance builds up through the natural frequency that your car vibrates at. It maybe that yours resonates in that rev band through some loose connection or particular part that vibrates in that range

Mines the GTI, sorry I didnt realise you meant the ED30.

Thanks for the Audi forums, a couple I had looked at all seemed to be full of people arguing about nothing

My turbo is really quiet, I just realised that. In my old 225TT it was really loud which I loved. Remap needed here!!!!!

No point having a turbo if you cant hear it!!!
