yeah the stupid "crackle pop" tunes are just deliberately running rich.
There's also "DSG farts" which actually have a performance benefit, but sound truly awful with aftermarket exhaust systems.
What's crazy to me is I hear it on cars that aren't even turbo - they're just running super rich with no muffler/resonator, so it pops/burbles more than normal. Can't be good for the car (the catalyst in particular, assuming they've bothered to keep it).
