Whirring sound when stepping on the gas

[Masked]

Hey guys,

Not sure if this is normal or not, maybe I just never paid attention to it, but my car is making a weird electrical sound when I step on the gas, even if I apply let's say 2% of the throttle it starts doing a whirring/electrical sound from the front of the vehicle. Does anybody knows what that might be or if it's just a normal thing? It completely goes away if I don't step on the gas.

Thank you

It’s very common. I think it’s a normal sound from the turbo, but if you experience any drivability issues, you should get it checked out

That's good to know. My first car with a turbo so I guess it's pretty new for me. Thanks!

Ive not owned a manual or turbo car previously either. But from what i’ve heard it’s not a normal sound. Just normal to this engine and turbo. It may have something to do with the air conditioning too.

its actually the flux capacitor charging for your trip back to 1985.. once it hits 1.21 gigawatts, you'd better hold on.

Of course it's a normal sound. If it wasn't a normal sound the car wouldn't be making it.

HAHA!!! I remembered the service writer mentioning the gas smell in oil is normal as this is fuel injected engine and not carburetor engine.
