Hi all
does anyone else get different noises from the wastegate on the S1?
Doesn't make a difference what mode i'm in Eco, Auto, Dynamic but sometimes i get more noise from it when accelerating mostly sounds like its coming from the passenger footwell

will do it a couple of times then go quiet again.
 
Unless you're running an external wastegate, you won't hear anything as an Internal wastegate dumps straight into the exhaust. I'm guessing it's something else you are hearing, maybe a loose intake pipe.
 
I thought they piped the sound in to make it sound sportier. Maybe it's just that.
