DCi Noise

[AstoN]

On the clio DCi (65 & 80 bhp models), assuming my presumtion of a turbo being present is correct?

How noisy is the turbo spool sound/boost noise/any wastegate or 'dump' noise?

I may be interested in an 80 model, apparently being the better of the 3 to drive?

I quite like the noise of the GT TDI 150 Mk4 Golfs, will the same sort of noise be present in a clio?

I dont wanna have to nail it everywhere, just a satisfying, noticeable noise.

I cant hear the turbo on mine DCI 65 (all 1.5 DCI's (65, 82 and 100 hp version) have turbo - 82 and 100 with intercooler). Only the general engine noise.
There are absolutely NO turbo whistle!

I can hear it on mine, mines a dci 80, sounds smart and i'm happy!!!

I can hear the turbo on mine quite a lot.

Good, i like a good noise from a turbo. It's satisfying. How much work to remap an 80 and what sort of figure end up with?

Is it like the golf's where the 130 can be mapped to 150, 110 to 130 etc??

Just from a remap you can get about 110bhp and silly amounts of torque. Miles quicker than a standard 100 (shitty gearbox) and you'll upset loads of 1.6 owners.

Check your air box you can get leaves etc in there which makes them wistl a bit.

Otherwise it might be signs your turbos on the way out depending what its like.

Yer i've heard the 100's aren't so great on't gearbox. Assuming a remap will allow for slightly more boost, that should emphasise the noise a little? Or is it different when remapping a diesel?

Depends on the mapper for boost.

A remap will make it a bit noiser though. A K and N also is supposed to help.
