Guest Steve Burnett Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 First of all let me say hello, this is my first post on the forum. I test drove a 97 auto TT Supra today, first time I have driven one. While accelerating there was a slight whistle when my foot was on the accelerator, when I took my foot off the sound went. This happened on both hard and light acceleration. Is this normal? The car was nice, £8995 for a 1997 on a P in black. 75k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Yeah perfectly normal, you hear the first one spooling unlike other turbo'd cars as it starts spinning straight away from idle, rather than a single turbo'd car that would spool around 1k ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffvalenti Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yeah perfectly normal, you hear the first one spooling as it starts spinning straight away from idle, rather than a single turbo'd car that would spool around 1k ish More like 1800-2000rpm for the TT and 3000+ for the single. I've NEVER seen a turbo car that makes boost on idle, or at 1000rpm come to think of it It would eliminate any lag though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've NEVER seen a turbo car that makes boost on idle, or at 1000rpm come to think of it It would eliminate any lag though I mean begins to SPOOL from idle. The turbo is always spinning. You are right the first blower begins to boost at around 1.5k revs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
