Hi everyone I've just purchased a twingo GT and when I first got it the turbo was broke so it's been replaced with a brand new one. However I haven't had a car with a turbo before and the sounds it's making is quite scary, when I hit 60+ for a short while whilst accerating it makes a loud whooshing sound. Then stops... I can tell the turbo is working but I just want to know if this sounds normal. It's got a full warrenty. And it's running really well.. No lights on dash... Would be great if I could get some advice on this if it's normal..
is it normal for my twingo to make turbo sounds...

You able to post up a video?
It will make a sound while accelerating BUT a video would help rule out a split pipe/actuator or wastegate issue.
Does it pull well throughout the rev range? Or does it seem to hold back whilst making the noise? Does it do it when cold (not stone cold) and when hot?

I'll try and get a video! It seems to quiet down when it's warm, and only happens when I press hard on the accerater. And no it seems to be running normal I think, however I wouldn't know. All I know is that it picks up speed super fast when accerating.
