Hi Franky,

Our turbos have always had varying levels of noise, if the turbos aren't kicking any smoke on overrun (downhill stretch of road, foot completely off accelerator, cruising on gravity effectively) I wouldn't worry about it :)

On mine I sometimes hear the turbos ever so faintly whining / whirring away (particularly on a cold engine), sometimes I don't, doesn't stop me hitting 18 PSI on stock turbos with no smoke (yet) :)

I can always hear mine spooling and even more so since I fitted the hard pipe kit.
