Want a louder turbo noise on my 2006 Audi A3 2.0TFSI
Discussion
I have a 2006 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI and would like a louder turbo noise, no too loud, but more noticeable.
As the 'dump valve' cannot be replaced with the atmospheric one as it will cause problems with the ECU due to the air metering valve and can mess up your catalytic converter what else could be used?
Do they do a re-circulating valve that makes that noticeable noise and makes no difference to the ECU or cat?
I know you can get a cone filter but the that can cause problems and you need to insulate from the engine heat. Will a K&N metal mesh filter that just replaces the standard paper filter increase the noise??
Just a big kid at heart!!

For turbo intake sounds you need to replace the turbo to maf intake pipe with a aluminum hard pipe (and silicon couplers) and the airbox with a cone filter of your choice.
This will give you all the whooshing sounds as they are normally muffled by the airbox and dampened by the standard rubber intake hose.

and will take the peelong time lurker said:
you can buy a split (half atmospheric) dump valve that that dosen't upset the engine (common issue on vag cars)
check forge or bailey dump valves
Surel any metered air which is vented to atmosphere is going to cause problems, you are just making the problem half as bad?check forge or bailey dump valves
I have just spoken to a performance centre and will be visiting them tomorrow.
They said that to stick to the stock valve and possible go for the cone intake to get a growl noise.
All down to money I suppose.
I am booking in the car for a REVO re-map.
If the car doesn't growl, I sure will with a big smile on my face when I drive it re-mapped!

The Forge split DV is usually recommended for VAG turbo cars.
As others have said the majority of the engine noise is the induction noise and that is controlled by the airbox and Turbo inlet pipe so swapping to a open cone filter of some description will greatly increase the volume.
Whilst it is fun to have that whoooooosh noise when stamping on the throttle having a constant sound like a air leak becomes a bit tiresome.
