At no point in the video can you hear any telltale turbo sounds. I've seen and heard an APS TT Z and the intake sound ALONE would give it away...

Even if it didnt have BOV's but only had by pass valves, you would still hear that loud and clear in the cabin. Intakes dont sound anywhere near aggressive enough to be for a TT.

Also so you know, the APS TT uses pretty small turbos, you will not hear those little things spool, so stop looking for the spool sound. The turbos they use, I'm pretty sure, are internally gated anyway so you wouldnt hear dump tubes from an external wastegate either.

The sound of the exhaust is way too gradual too...no turbo spike like this video has... I dont believe that car is turboed pagani...

THIS is what an APS TT Z sounds like...

Haha, I guess I came off as a dick. Wasn't trying to I swear. Didn't mean to insult anyone its just that I hate it when people come up to me and say "omg I LIkEZ YO TURBOz YO, sounds ILLLLL!!! How hard you boostin???" Only because they claim to hear things like my turbos (plural) spooling when all they heard was the BOV go off at low boost. By that same token, people that post online about FI and dont have a clue about whats going on kinda tick me off, reminds me of movies like fast and the furious..I guess thats where they get all their info anyhow.

I feel like what you guys are hearing at the beginning of the video is just the chassis/suspension settling after he goes over that small rut... because I cant hear anything when he goes into 3rd... If he was half throttling everything then we should still be hearing a lot of flutter from the slight compressor surge.

Also I don't really know who you are so I guessed it was the usual silly vin diesel brigade type crap. My bad, I dont know everyone yet.
