i love the sound. But i love the sound that supra's give out. Sounds like a nice whistle, but i dont like the ones that sounds like it sneezes, the one that go tttuffftt. I like the whistle sound like this one, i dont like this sound, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...+valve&pl=true or like this one, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...+valve&pl=true i like this sound, http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...=supra&pl=true what determines the sound? Number of PSI, Amount of HP or kind of BOV??
How the hell is it possible to get that car to get 875rwhp? IS that car even street legal, can he drive it like everyday like a normal car? | | | | | 05-03-2006, 11:18 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |

BOV= hotness. The louder the better IMO. | | | | | 05-04-2006, 01:47 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Thousand Oaks, California Posts: 343 |
I think that BOVs are sick. But only on some cars, like an evo or sti its freakin sick but when a little civic does it it seems cheesy but still sounds cool sometimes. GTi s sound sick with a nice exhaust makin that throughty sound and then the tisshhhhhh.... oooo i like that. __________________ 1993 325is Hellrot

Basically the only thing that really determines the sound is what setting the bov is on and what kind. different ones have different sounds. some make almost no sound and some sound like a whisteling bird. but not a turbo expert | | | | | 05-04-2006, 02:12 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Tacompton, WA Posts: 309 |

I'm sure you could do it for under $3k, but I wouldn't want to run alot of boost on a stock motor, expecially without some sort of FMU. IMO it wouldn't be worth is since there are so many cars that can be made faster for a lot cheaper. | | | | | 05-04-2006, 03:01 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Potomac, Maryland Posts: 230 |

A correctly installed BOV on our cars assuming its installed with a BMW MAF sensor wouldn't make any noise because it would have its outlet plumbed back into the pipe behind the MAF.

IMHO the sound of a wastegate is cooler. Or the sound of the two turbos spooling up behind your head combined with that distinctive Porsche exhaust note... | | | | | |
