Light throttle...yeaaa right...you will have at least 3500 rpm if
steady, but I belive you at that time let the trottle go and you more
likely had 4-5000 rpm.. if you check the TC meter you will see that
the TC is feeding air into the turbo (over pressure 10-12 PSI) at
that sound is normal....i like it and it can be heard as well outside
and what a sound...
If cruising in 6 gear (85 mile), try to gear down to 4 and press the
pedal to the metallllll you will hear the nice sound again...
