It's all about working the system. You just need to know what system you're working. <--the fact of life...

I would imagine the APS stainless steel inlet pipe with an aftermarket intake would bring out the sound of the turbo a lot more.

I think the stock inlet pipe muffles the sound of the turbo spooling.

With an aftermarket intake you can hear the turbo sucking in air, but it's not the same as hearing a turbo whistle when it's spooling up.
