World's STUPIDEST question about Turbo
I know this is the dumbass question ever asked on this forum (or any). But i want to give it a shot..

For those people who have a turbo, what the heck is that sound (i'm guessing BOV) when you change gear?

Is it possible to get that sound w.o the whole turbo kit? I love that sound, but i don't think i want to put a turbo in my car, because 1. we're in TORONTO not a race track, 2. street racing isn't my thing or drag racing i just like the ride..

I can predict that i'm gonna get bad mouth here but eh. it's a shot. thx for those tryin.

It's called a hypersonic combobulater. It sends mhz to your throttle body telling it exactly what to do i.e letting off on gas and going on clutch..the 'bov' you hear is the blow off stem from the system, the bigger the whistle in the stem machine the louder and sexier it sounds man. Some people say you shouldnt get it unless you have a turbo and all that stuff but I sa they are just ricers. Goodluck dude!

The hypersonic combobulater os about 120-150 but probably 90 on ebay. Its a ***** constantly going in your engine bay to pour steam into the shock but after that its sweet.
