Thanks, D. That is what I did when it happened, as I recall. Accelerated pretty hard, then let up on the gas quickly. I was testing it for quick acceleration- the kind you need off a light, or passing some dweeb left-lane coaster. Then I got nervous because I was on a suburban road. (Should have done it on a highway, but there wasn’t one near the dealer).

I knew you would know.

Hey, this all made me think of your old buddy GotZoom, I think his name was here on the board. I think you two lost touch over the years? I always thought he was a cool guy.

Pop! Bang!

It should to it most on deceleration - like hard on the gas, then quick lift while in gear. In that instance I think it's probably okay, the rest of the info here notwithstanding.

Tuners of turbo cars often offer a 'bangs and pops' tune that makes the car do that nearly always.

I find it endearing
