Blow off valve???

[WS-Enterprise]

I havent heard of anyone trying this, but I was wondering if you could fabricate a blow off valve to a warm air or cold air intake and it accually make the hissing sound as if the car was turboed.. anyone heard of this done? Just wondering cause I love to hear a BOV hiss.. so figured it would be neat to do until i finally get my turbo..

you'd probably have better luck just getting a better stereo, and a cd with that sound on it, then blasting that cd

A nice honest answer in this section might be nice once in a while.

Anyway, no, there is not way to hook up a BOV without a turbo. To understand why, learn how one works-

This excess pressure could potentially cause damage to the turbocharger's impeller and may also slow or even stop it, thus causing turbo lag when the throttle is pressed again.
