Jesus christ my car is LOUD.
How do I quiet down the turbo noise? Has anyone done anything like an intake silencer? My VTA BOV doesn't help, but that's an easy enough fix. Below 5000rpm the turbo noise overpowers the exhaust note.

dude, lets drive man. i got my car to idle like buttah now. 13-14 afr's at idle. i've heard of people running foam over the intake... i dont know how well that works though. my spool is loud too, but, i just got used to it.
|
I would be down for a drive sometime too, ive gotten my car running pretty smooth as well. As for the turbo noise, i really like it, but I suppose a longer intake tube would help, or an intake box of some sort, maybe a modified miata box?
|
thats the cool thing about being turbo...:)

what the hell is wrong with you, you pansy?
|
Dont worry man, I have no muffler, just pipe, and no intake pipe and I still hear more turbo spool then exhaust...
|
It would be so badass on the track, but it's just too loud for the street. I'll take some video so you guys can see what I mean. I can't hear my exhaust over the turbo.
|
see if it is the same outside the car. if it is...that sick and you need a turn down to make you exhaust louder.
That might be the .net link on how to really make it quiet. |
Must be nice.. i actually wish my turbo noise was louder

Maybe your turbo is broke? And what you are hearing is actually the sound of busted.
|

It's better that way....exhausts are annoying. |
i would say why buy an exhaust when the downpipe does it for you, but then i noticed that you live in cali and would be shot for having no CAT.... and whats up with them crushing young ricer's cars anyways?

I'm getting used to it, although merging onto the highway without this insane FSHEW is practically impossible. :D
