whistle turbo noise inside of 991.2
Hey folks,
for those of who recently received your 991.2 base or S, PSE or no PSE, - or gone for test drives, have you heard the whistle inside of the car - the whistle is pretty apparent it seems in low rpms as the turbos spool....
thanks!

There's a turbo in there... What do you expect?

Remember the whistle we used to get in a package of Oscar Mayer? Those were the days.

I have a 4S with PSE, you absolutely hear the whistle all the time with PSE on or off until you start getting on the throttle -it goes away around 3200 rpm. I'm still in the break-in period and trying to stay under 4000. You get used to it.

You should just go with it and an add a blow off valve.

Barely noticeable in the base PSE I drove.

I wondered how long it would take before someone linked to ol' Bubb Rubb...

We all know that Porsche is targeting the older driver. While I am not much of a fan of the .2 configuration, I must say that my hearing is so bad, that I would probably not even hear it.

I've been driving my 991.2 and have 250 miles on her and have yet to hear the whistling. Of course I have the windows up due to recent tinting. I'm digging the Sport setting though. The backfire as you slow down is addictive to hear. BTW, car hauls like ****!
