NickBA-XR6T Bronze Donating Members 386 Member For: 12y 11m 27d Posted 18/03/12 04:47 AM Share Posted 18/03/12 04:47 AM Hi,Having only just purchased a BA XR6 Turbo (my first ever turbo car) It feels like the turbo is ultra quiet, like basically inaudible. When I give it some power and then back off there is no flutter or any sort of sound as such. What should I expect? Is there any other owners nearby to Lidcombe in Sydney who would be able to give it a once over and let me know if it all goes/sounds ok?RegardsNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont make any noise until you start to mod it and wind the boost up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are exceedingly refined cars and engines.If the engines spins like a turbine at over 5000 rpm, then all is good.If it makes a some noise for some time after a warmed up and shutdown, then all is good.If it makes considerably more noise after a cold shutdown (start, run short time and then stop engine) then this is normal; though it is not a good idea to be doing such things. Enjoy the car and welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will is do any harm or damage to the motor or turbo?And I'm not the type to do doughies, I value my drivers license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car will get more cold air this way and you'll get a bit more noise if you're lucky.As if yo don't want to snap some doughies! doughies are mad!
