Default Decat downpipe fitted today

on my MY99 classic UK.
Doesn't feel like its made a massive difference, power wise or sound wise.
Thats OK though, as I didn't want it mega loud.
I now have magnex downpipe and centre section with prodrive backbox.
I can here the turbo spooling now. Not sure if I like it. Its like being in a TDI!
Is that normal?

It was just a quick road test, so I just probably was expecting too much.

well true, its not really that i noticed until i went on a good run, then realised that it picked up better and seemed to help with boost stabilisation on mine

It won't make a massive difference without a remap, although you may notice that the turbo spools a bit lower down and quicker.

Yes, more turbo noise is perfectly normal.
