Default Re: i would be surprised if a sound clip would pick up the sound of stock turbos

Thanks for all the replies.
This is a bone stock car. If the window is up you still hear it but not loud. If you are doing 30 and punch it, you can barely hear it with the windows up. Kinda sounds like a feedback from the radio.

I guess I'll wait for it to give me a cloud of smoke or a trail of oil. Will anything else self destruct if the turbos quit?

Default keep it stock if you're worried. generally, you won't hear healthy turbos

with the window's DOWN (too much wind noise), but with the windows up, you may hear a bit of a distant siren sound. I had exactly that and when I removed them, they looked absolutely fine and there was no movement at all in the shafts nor damage to the blades.

RKTSKICAR (as usual) is totally correct below. per my experience, you will get paranoid to the point of replacement, spend a fortune, and end up with perfectly fine spares.
