Default saw a clean ass accord

I saw a 5th gen turquoise accord that was hella clean today. It had a black gauge pillar but the weird thing is, it didnt sound turboed, but it had the gauges for it. And i looked at the front of it and didnt look like it had a FMIC. So im not sure if he sprayed the intercooler black or what, but i wanna know how he got his turbo to sound like a stock motor. Cause im getting mines installed soon, and want it to sound stock also.

well sometimes people have gauges with out having the equipment (ricers)

there is a chance that he is in the middle of a turbo build and is getting everything set up so his car is down for the least amount of time :dunno:

and you dont have to have an intercooler, just not the best and not very hight boost.

unfortunately, this explanation is probably more likely
