Turbo Sound

Hey does anybody a clip or can get on of a sf turbo on their 7th gen civic. Just for curiousity sake, just waiting for the day when I can get one. But does it make the swooshing sound, and is it really loud.

Haha sorry maybe I should explain it better next time, I've heard many different turbos like Supra and turbo mustangs they all sound dufferent. F1 cars have the loud sound. But If I were to put one in and give the car some gas is it noticable. I attract enough cops stock.

I always thought that high pitch sound was the turbo constantly working.

i can hear mine sucking in that air and then it whirs, not like a SC whine, and then while boosting i get the awesome sound of the open dumptube and the external wastegate opening. and of course the magnificant sound of the BOV.

here is a good example of a turbo car w/ a dump on it....this is a 97 Eclipse GS-T with a 14b turbo and an O2dump tube off of the wastegate, basicly for any of you debating whether u want to have ur wastegate open or routed into the exhaust this will decide it. to me, it sounds badass but im sure half of u would think its annoying....i love hearin my car, its sounds almost identical to this eclipse...here ya go
