Got a turbo sound but no turbo
I have also posted this question on www.ls1.com as this forum was down when I ws going to post the question.
I have fitted an outside camera to the car also a microphone. No real reason for it, just a bit of fun while on car cruises etc...
Anyway, pulled out of a junction earlier change into 2nd at about 4500rpm and it sounds like a turbo discharging before I put it into second. I cant hear this sound inside the car, well not noticably. The microphone is just under/behind the left turn signal on a 2000 Trans-Am. Is this just the sound of the air being sucked into the air filter? A vacuum leak crossed my mind, but it pulls well, 381fwhp/393fwtq.

If you can't hear it from inside the car, did you ever think that it could just be a muffled noise due to the microphone??? And actually yeh,, JDJP is right. When I pop the hood on my car and kick the throttle I can hear a similar noise.

Thanks for the info. Never tried reving the engine with the hood up. I'll give it a go out in the country away from people.
From what your saying it seems to be normal after some modifications.

I changed the headers about 6 months after the corsa catbak, and it enhanced the sound even further.

Could it be that your have not done the !AIR? I know I get alot of goofy noise from that thing on my toy...I hear that whooooossshhh noise too when I hit it hard going from 2nd to 3rd as she gets sideways though, and trust me it doesn't sound NEAR like a real turbo waste gate a that high of an rpm dumping out between gears...AND NOT nearly as annoying as that PISTON SLAP noise...I thought I had a loose rocker arm for the first 2 months! Reminds me of pinging in old engines...

It cant be the !AIR mod I done, the air pump is in the loft, the fuse has been removed from the fuse box and deleted in the PCM. Thanks for the thought anyway.
