Turbo/Blow Off Valve Question

hey, my name is chris
and i have be trying to find this out for a long time. what makes that sound when you shift and start your car that sounds like air boosting out. is that a turbo? or just a blow off valve with a cold air intake? or maybe even something else? if anybody knows please let me know. and also would i need any aftermarket parts to install it?

also it is not in my car. i go to lincoln tech. that is an automotive school. and a lot of the advanced class kids have it in their cars. since i am busy in my classes, as are they. i do not have time to ask them about the sound. but as they shift its makes a psssssshhhhh kind-of sound. and i think its really cool. i just wanna know what the sound is, and how to get it?

Re: Turbo/Blow Off Valve Question

you would need to get a turbo charger.lol

the intake has nothing to do with it and the BOV is not associated with the intake
