I would imagine the CDA would work well with the 20VT for the same reasons its the favoured induction kit for people with tuned JTDs.. As for the induction noise, it can't be helped on turbo cars, there's no 'pulse' of suck/no-suck like on an N/A engine because of the turbo, its providing a constant pull of air and as such makes a constant drone, just varying in pitch with the speed of the turbo. It was the same on my JTD when I had the CDA installed on that.

I've got to say, I think the CDA sounds awesome on my V6. I can't imagine it sounds much different on a T.S..
