Yeah. Drive normally? haha

Id reccomend NO!!!!!!!!!!!! to me daily drive and turbocharged dont really work...

Hmm depends on the size of the turbo when you hear the BOV. Everytime when i drove my d16a6 turbo. Id always shift high enough to hear the psssssssssssssst..... sound. That was almost like my "high" It was like a sign of "wow look what i did with this car!" All you hard work and money put into it there is no way you can drive and shift low enough to make it a DD!
Hmm on mine gas milage isnt that bad but the stress put on an engine driving it for long stretches is!

FOR EXAMPLE...one of my buddies had a 95 civic ls swap turboed....when i drove it u couldnt shift without hearing it...seriously at 1500 ud hear it if u were in 2nd gear or higher

Ok well I dont have a BOV on my car and I have driven in two civics with the same setup as mine and I didnt hear the BOV on theres under 3,000 shifts. Unless you push hard in my car you cant even hear the waste gate. So what ever different setups do different things.
