i dotn think you can make it run quiet. You dont want to quiet down the spooling, that is the best part.

your turbo set up is not going to sound the same as your N/A set up. what kind of exhaust are you going to run? 3in piping and a quiet muffler kind of contradicts itself.

NA set up and turbo sounds different, a NA with no cat and straight piping sounds like ****, its loud as hell and high pitched, but same set up on a turbo car, sounds deep, mean, loud but not kill my ears loud

One or the other here...better performance w/ a less restrictive muffler. More sound suppression w/ a more restricted, baffled muffler.

Ask around at local shops, some do custom 3" exhausts for cheap (friend got 3" for $140 for a GTI).

If you want it super quiet, run a 24" resonator (basicly any preforated-tube type glasspack) and any muffler. 24" with a 3" straight-through Magnaflow muffler is deep, yet quiet. If you want others to hear you a little, just run 2 resonators. The turbo essentially acts as a muffler - the heavy cast-iron housing absorbs sound very well.
