Question

After the recent decat, I've noticed that the exhaust is a LOT loader, especially at speed, which is good. But I've also noticed that there is much more noise from the turbo - the turbo whine/flutter is a lot more noticable - question is, is this normal???

Completely normal Brian.

The standard downpipe masks all of the whistle from the turbo and the noise of the wastegate as it starts to open at around 3,000 rpm.
