dnb Member 26 Member For: 13y 11m 20d Gender: Male Location: WA Posted 04/05/11 10:43 PM Share Posted 04/05/11 10:43 PM oddly does your intake noise start about 2000-2500rpm when the turbo starts to wind up... and it sounds like a cop/ambulance siren is nearby? if that's the case then I'm gettin the same sound too... was going to ask my mechanic if its okay... mines started doing it about 9000kms..
