Yeah its not really irritating but just making sure. Im saving for a cooler kit and if I have to repair turbo that's a fair old chunk outta the budget. Only had it tuned the other day and they didnt say anything about it, but it was very brief as he was heading out as I was heading in.I let it idle down for about a minute and most of the time its very steady driving.

I'm pretty sure its just the noise coming from bearings in the turbo as it slow's down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
