Noob Question: turbo s2000
So yesterday I had the chance to have a ride in a 425whp S2000... it was fun and scary
my question is.... when we were racing up through the gears, as the rpms rise, there is a sound like air swirling... is that sound the turbo or is it air being let out of the wastegate?

thanks.... I was pretty sure it wasn't the turbo... not sure why
it sounds like air escaping at intervals...
this guy is running over 20lbs of boost

no no
I know what a blow off valve soudns like... and it was as the RPMs went up, not when shifting
