Aaa, not for diesel then? Why not? I know the throttle is always open but if the valves are close the pressurised air as to go somewhere?
The sound is a funny one one, hard to tell, wwoooshh, a bit like something sucking in too, when the waste gate open I guess. I thought it might be the turbo lowering its speed with the air going backward like explained on wiki...
Cheers.
