Turbo Noise

So I have an 07 STI with 36000 miles. It has a cone air filter and the turbo is loud and I mean loud. Is this normal? The dealer told me it was and due to my lack of experience being around other STI's, I can't really tell what is normal. When I go throttle to the floor the turbo spools up but sounds like a jet engine. I want to make sure that this is normal turbo noise with this kind of air filter and that something else isn't the cause of this.

Thanks

 
Thanks man. This is the most I have ever spent on a car and now ever noise, lurch and jerk is worrying me, ah well I have only had it for about 4 days I'll get over it. And then I can really see what this thing can do. :headbang:

 
does it sound like it's trying to suck up kittens and small children? then spit out thunder?

yeah that sounds about right.

rember this is a high performace car, not just a sporty car like a WRX. it's going to be louder, it's going to be harsher, the brakes will squeel and clack, it's going to be jerky when you shift until you figure out subarus. it's not a sport lux it's not ment to be.

but the trade off for all that is that when you get it right and can push it harder it will just keep getting better to drive.

but what do i know? i've never driven and WRX little less a STI.

i just race around in my 10 year old GC haha

 
Thanks for the replies, even in the few days I have owned this car this resource has proved very helpful. Hopefully one day I will have learned enough about these cars that I can contribute here as well.
