:lol: Because you turbo is the size of a fortune cookie. 12t i think.

I figured

er, i hear an exhuast. just revving the engine a wee bit isn't gonna move enough air to spool up the turbo anyway :lol:

I know

as a side note, my T5's turbo is pretty noticeable when cold. makes a nice whistle/whine noise that varies in pitch with throttle

the kick back I do notice. I just need to put a stage II Turbo on HUH!!

S40 turbo is so small it gets drowned out by exhaust and road noise... :( Sorry.

Upgrade it to a 16, 18 or 19t, then you'll hear it. 1.3bar its deffinatly noticable. Shit, at the stock .7bar its audible.

Easiest is to upgrade to 14T or make a hybrid out of the stock 12T with bigger wheel. Upgrade to 16T, 18T or 19T require an adapter with minor modification for oil/coolant lines. In addition, you'll need a custom DP.

14T is easily available on Ebay.......~$450. Hybrid mod cost $350 with the supply of turbo core.

There is a guy selling his 16T with an adaptor over s40concept.net for cheap if you looking to go that route. I would start reading up if you are seriously about upgrading the turbo to find out the pro/con of each option.

Thanks Bro, i will read on it. My goal is 245Hp. May take a little, but it will be worth it.

You can achieve that easily with 14T, 3" DP & exhaust and a good tune. Several guys dyno ~215-222whp on setup similar to that.

thanks
