Can't hear the turbo on either my E39 or E53 , even with the windows down and both re-mapped .
Obviously mine is contrary to the normal .. typical !!!

Should my turbo whistle
[quote=""ITBarbie""]Hi
I'm confused as usual. Ever since i've had my car (approx 2 yrs) I've noticed that there is a whistle from the turbo. I've noticed that it appears (can't guarantee this) louder since I've had my remap. [/quote]
Just thought I would add that the turbo whistle does appear more noticeable on a remapped car, probably because the turbo is doing that little bit more. I would also like to say that it can only be heard with the pano open or window down. Great sound either way

Re: Should my turbo whistle
Its the turbines spinning, its normal on any turbo car...its the high whine you need to worry about almost like a shrill thats a sign of possible turbo failure.
