Slight Turbo Whine. Normal?

Hi I'm new here.

Picked up a brand new Nitro Xr6 Turbo 2 weeks ago. Now has 1200km on it.

Got premium sound, leather, tech pack, alloy spare, mats, mud spats, tint etc. Absolutely love it.

Having never owned a turbo before, I'm not sure how it should sound. There is a slight whistle/whine from the turbo when you accelerate normally. Doesn't have to be full throttle, just normal acceleration.

is it normal to hear the turbo? You can't hear it with the radio at normal volume. Only when the radio is off.

Thanks.

NitroT,

Everything sounds fine to me. If you want good indication if your turbo is failing then listen to it right after you switch the engine off. You should just be able to here it smoothly running to a stop.

yeah mate dont worry all smooth sailing here!

Turbo whine is a good thing!

chuck in a lower F6 CAI (cold air intake) with a K&N filter and u will have better fuel economy, little more response and a hell of a lot more induction and flutter noise!

sounds like a gorguz car though congrats!

Hi,

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm relieved that its all good.

I love this car, the only problem is going to be me not losing my license. Have to show some real restraint when driving it!!!

Here are a couple of Pics. (my old car is the last one which my wife now drives - still a good car)
