Lightbulb S60 Vs. S40 Turbo noise

i have a 03 S60 2.4t, my friend has a 02 S40 1.8t, i think, anyway...when i really get on the accelerator i don't really hear much of my turbo spooling up... but when i drive my friends s40 you can really hear the turbo and i really like that! is there any way i can get more noise out of my turbo? i think my turbo is working properly i fell the boost at about 2500 to 3000 RPM and there is no lack of power just not enough noise for my liking! any tips/ideas would help!

Do you mean like a blow off sound? I've found turbo's get a lot louder with the addition of a very large bore exhaust.

1. Is his car stock or modded?

2. If you want to hear your turbo. Add a cone filter to the end of your MAF. Simple as that.

I own an S60 also,

I have an EST (Euro Sport Tunning) air intake, ipd also sells one.

Real easy install

You wont gain much power from the SRI "Short Ram Intake" (IPD USA, EuroSportTuning (EST)) intake setups, but you will gain sound.
