Turbo and SuperCharger noise

[Tonezz]

I know the Cupra has the engine amplifier to make the exhaust note louder than the FR but are the turbo and supercharger noises the same as well? Im guessing they are because they are the same bits of kit, and you can take the sound proofing off the SC to make the noise a bit louder?

Be good if the whine was as loud as a Cooper S!

Well the turbo is noisy on mine which I love. As for the charger its not as noticeable but I have read somwhere that you can take the sound proofing off the charger. Do a search on google. Think a lad with.the polo gti did it. Be interesting if it majes it much noisier

around 2.5kg sound proofing on that thing

Lol.

You will never get the same noise of a cooper s. Fwiw ive had both.

The cooper s supercharger runs till the redline hence the big whine. The 1.4tsi is only running the supercharger up till 3500rpm

Lots of info on here http://www.vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=8857

I've removed some of the sound proofing from around it which makes a slight increase to the whine Trouble is it has a silencer at either end

isnt the supercharger electronical limited to 3500? if so what happens with the sc limiter at 4000 ?

Is the turbo just as noisy in the FR as well then?

Yes if remapped lol

My turbo was soo much more noticeable once remapped ( pretty obvious) so I would imagine that both in standard form the cupra would be slightly more noticeable

How difficult is it to remove the sound proofing around the SC? Would a novice be able to with a £50 toolkit from halfrauds?

yes but you need tiny hands and with tiny i mean chinese child tiny .

and you need to work from under the car also

Potentially dicing with failure imo. The SC bearings/shaft etc would have been balanced and design to operate at max of 3500. Raising it would likely cause alot of vibration followed by bearing issues etc

Bugger. Dont have any jacks.

well yesterday I heard it for first time before turbo came in- its much more noticble in manual mode than D

EDIT:

Does anyone know the quoted power outputs of the supercharger and turbo charger. If we have these?
