hahahahahahahahahahaaha - yeah like iiviasterp sed, it would add like 50Hp... hahahqhhaahaha
My friend has a VL turbo (VL's are Austrlian Cars made by Holden i.e. GM) and he always sets his blow off valve off....
Some VL turbos can pull 9 seconds on the quarter....

What's truly sad about this is that for the same manufacturing costs they could probably make a similar device that would offer small (but REAL) performance gains...

I think this link gets the Giant APC Sticker :rice: Seal of Approval.

Now what would be really fucking funny is to put that thing on a bad all-motor car!

that is the longest sentence that i have ever read in my life.

Why would anybody ever invent that product? i'm not gonna say that it's gay, but... You could spend that money on something that would actually make your car faster.

I would drop some cash on a mechanical product that produced the noise (of course I'm talking other than a turbo itself).. Around like $50cdn tops. But that electronic toy is a waste.

Just record the sound and play it on your player and crank up the volume when you shift.
psstssssstttttt

You can also add the "pop pop" misfiring sound when you downshift eh...

I don't need one, but it would be cool if someone tries it. However, my cooling fan comes on for like 15-30 minutes after my car has been shut down. Sometimes people would tell me that my car's still on and I'd tell them that it's just my turbo cooling and people who don't know jack-crack about cars will fall for it.

it just occured to me that this is in the Apperence forum. why? i guess it could go in the sound and security, but i think it should go the the General forum. just what i was thinking.
