Default i can't hear my turbo spool

I have a buddy with a civic running a t3 turbo and deltagate and his turbo sounds amazing when he drives by, (also quite exhaust)

BUT my car sounds like *******, i have a t3/t4 with tial and no matter what you can hear the spring like bouncing, even just driving normal, i can never hear my turbo spool (is this because my exhaust is to loud?) just wondering if this is just me or do a lot of turbo cars not make the "spooling" sound

I can hear mine from 2k up, stock exhaust. Sounds awesome

What do you have for the intake, a tube w/ filter on the end?

if you want to hear the turbo, take a charge pipe off, then you can hear it plenty

I have an exhaust leak and I can still hear my turbo. It's not too loud, but it sure does turn heads!

yeah andrew, you can't hear your car but you can kick the **** out of me. it's true though, the sound is amazing. i don't know why you wouldn't want to hear it. if you've got it, show it.

mine was very quiet when it was new....All I could here was the exhaust and rushing air...now it sounds like a jet plane taking off, ad I am running closed WG, cat, and filter....I think it may just need to be broken in.
