My turbos have gotten extremely loud
#1
They have gotten very loud under hard acceleration. I used to just hear a "gush" between gear changes... it grew to a whistle under hard acceleration, now it just screams. it sounds cool as hell, but... um... it didnt do this before.
If nobody has seen or heard this, i will try to take a video tomorrow in my parking garage after everyone leaves for work.

That sucks Craig, but don't you dare switching to Audi after your lease is up
Don't wait too long though, because if too much false air is being sucked in, your fuel/air ratio will be incorrect which is not good for engine + exhaust system.
P.S. It's the only issue I ever had with my E60 in almost 3 years now.
