My car "coughs" at idle sometimes
Ive been turbo'd for a couple of weeks now. Love it. Sometimes when I'm sitting at a light at idle or cruising at light throttle, the car seems to cough or hiccup or fart through the exhaust. I dont know how to explain it. It's rare and I just want to make sure that it's not dangerous after hearing all this detonation mumbo jumbo. What does that sound like. The car runs great when I'm getting on it. Thanks

i got bogging sometimes at low rpms. i can't seem to pinpoint the gear I'm in and rpm range it happens, except for when I'm in 6th gear and am goign about 50 mph (yes, too lazy to downshift sometimes, hahah).

just another little turbo "glitch"... even factory turbocharged cars with aftermarket turbo upgrades makes similar "noises" like that... unless there is a notice in performance, oil pressure, boost spikes, etc. you should be fine

Emanage. I see you've been in my other thread, hopefully, they can work out those kinks...
