What does a n63tu turbo sound like???

I love the sound of my car it's one of the things that makes me enjoy it the most. How much of the sound is the turbo and how much is just the motor?

r it's an odd question just something that was rattling around.

Should say I have no tune and stock exhaust.

From the driver’s seat totally stock a lot of what you hear is intake sound. And yes, it sounds good.

Turbo sound is a “whooshing” that you can hear from the exhaust, but when stock most of that is taken care of by the muffler. The turbos actually quiet down the engine exhaust sound quite a bit. If you’ve heard 50i muffler delete videos it’s not really loud, even without a muffler.
