Turbo Sounds
Bit of a nooby question, but will I hear more "turbo" noises such as spooling come from fitting a decat downpipe and cat back exhaust?
Re: Turbo Sounds
More like exhaust noise from removing the restrictive cat and switching to an aftermarket exhaust system. Gaining a few bhp and losing the weight of the heavy cat.
Get yourself an induction kit to make the most of the sounds.

Re: Turbo Sounds
Lol yeah the sound is gonna be nuts.
I've got a Blitz SUS induction kit which does make a cracking sound, however I'm worried I'm not going to be able to hear it anymore over the aftermarket exhaust and the lack of a cat!

Re: Turbo Sounds
I've got a ko racing induction kit, decat and HKS exhaust. Can still hear the induction noise.
Re: Turbo Sounds
Nice, I've heard the Japspeed exhaust is considerably louder than the HKS so hopefully it's still there
You got any interior sound clips?

Re: Turbo Sounds
It's like youtube does not exist... all sounds can be found there within a few clicks. Go nuts
Re: Turbo Sounds
Except most videos are recorded with a phone and sound poo!
Let's be honest, there's only a handful of decent quality MR2 turbo sounds.

Re: Turbo Sounds
The freer flowing the exhaust, the more turbine you will hear.
I had a ct20b > Berk DP > 3" mandrel bent pipe. You could hear the turbine on decel.

You may hear her spooling, especially if you have all the bolt on mods and a decent boost controller giving you quick response and higher boost pressure.
It can be heard through the induction but it is something you have to listen out for, on a car driven daily it is all to easy to become an insignificant sound.
I only notice different noises on upgraded turbos, I have a small clip from a while ago on my phone from my current car, nothing great and not worth uploading, however I will upload it to youtube so you have something to compare your car to....
will post when the deed is done if it is worth posting
Re: Turbo Sounds
uploaded video and it's not really worth posting, very hard to pick up the sounds you are yearning for

Nice man. Those sounds are epic! How are you making it flutter? No BOV?
What exhaust mods do you have?
Re: Turbo Sounds
My Rev 3 makes a lovely, loud induction noise if i do say so myself. I'll try to get a video recording.

Very nice video! I need to get a gopro like you. My car sounds exactly the same, I think you're running a GT3076R too like me.
Re: Turbo Sounds
This is how ARC on a Rev 3 with bolt ons sounds (sorry for the rattling clip on GoPro):
