Haha. Almost as good as the "electric supercharger"/vacuum motor that gets you 2psi.

Sounds like a good investment.

You can turbo your NA now! Well, at least sound wise.

oh i think i get it, apperantly, the higher exhuast pressures keep the valve closed, then when you let off the valve opens and the gasses going through it, must make a whistline sound just as the valve opens, so Id think youd loose HP as its a restriction

Yeah, would it just plug up the exhaust until enough pressure builds to cause it to make the blow off noice?

LOL... I wonder if they make one that whistles more like a VW bug.
Could then turn your turbo porsche into a bug sounding sleeper?
