What is that sound, the gearbox or the exhaust?
Your messing with me aren't you?

The loud air sound is the blow off valve between the intercooler and intake. When I take my foot off the gas or lift a little it allows the boost to escape and let the tubo maintain its full RPM's thereby the Turbo is ready to hit full boost again when I get back on the gas the the blow off vavle closes giving me full power instantly. (takes big breath)
