    Trust me, I will and the car just feels better anyway. The power doesn't surge now, it just feels nice and smooth and the car wants to be 'driven'. Very pleased with the quality of work from the specialist, they're top-notch!

    Turbo whistle, that's just his perception of the noise. I know what he means. If I drive mine gently with light acceleration I can hear mine very audibly. If I floor it, then all I hear is the engine growl and exhaust note!
    I can hear mine also when cruising. If the cruise control is on, it just spools up when slight load applied. Sweet!

    There's a very steep hill on the A31 in the new forest and in 5th at 70 mph with the cruise on, i get a lovely, almost digital spoolup noise, almost hitting 13psi before it gets to the top.

    Nice

    Me too, but I'm generally doing more than 70 when I get to it, and that's with my wife in the car.

    Your wife's a speed freak the same as you (if not, worse) mine gets the hump!

    Anybody else play the game where you see how fast you dare go round the right-hander at the top?
