basically bought my vrs octavia 3 days ago. when i let off the accelerator i dont always get the psss sound from the turbo. and also how do i go about replacing the standard HU for something better that can connect to the 6 cd changer in the boot??cheers guys.

Sounds normal, you dont always get the sound as it depends on the driving style and conditions.

You are out of luck with the changer, so far we have not found another manufacturer HU that can control the it.

only asking purely because the stock system is rubbish and the changer is playing up

I agree, the stock system isnt that good. The main cause of this though is the rubbish speakers. When I had the vRS, I changed the speakers in the door and this was a big improvement to the sound.

Try driving with the passenger window open ONLY! and also try driving by a high brick wall on the passenger side (whilst window open!) and you will almost definately here is! i think the dump valve is on the passenger side of the engine!

Also try fitting a Green Panel Air Filter instead of the standard, it made my dump valve more noticable. Ask Kate at JKM motors for a quote on the filter. Mine was about

What's so important about hearing the wastegate?

I would find the sound getting on my t*ts in no time.

I don't specifically want to hear the dump valve. I was just saying that I hadn't, and some other people were suggesting how you might.

Yes i agree Carbonio is awesome sounds like Darth Vader and then you can most definately hear the standard DV!!!!! I do have a forge DV just havent fitted it yet so it will be interesting to hear the difference between standard DV and Forge DV:D

Youll love the noise from the Carbonio and Forge.:thumbup:
