Is this a normal noise ? It is loud enough for any passenger to notice (my wife) Is it just the nature of the turbo sound and I have to live with it? Can you all hear your turbo whining up and down? Thanks
Did you test drive the car before you bought it? Turbos whine. Anything that spins in air at around 120,000 RPM is going to make some noise. It's perfectly normal, and yes, you can hear it inside the car. Lots of people buy turbos just to hear that whine (they know it's the sound of power)
