Question?
hmm so i was wondering if there is anyway to put a blow off valve on my car w/out having a supercharger or turbo? Heard there was but not sure. Just love the sound it makes when car shifts. Thanks in advance

blow off valve is meant to release the excess flow out of the turbo that the car doesn't take back in. (the simplest way i can explain it). so in order to to that you need a lot of pressurised air flow that is created by the turbo or super charger. with the super charger you won't get the same effect as the turbo when it comes to the blow off valve. You can put a blow off valve on the intake pipe right by the throttle body and use the softest blow off valve spring and you will still not hear a thing because it's not nearly enough to open up the blow off valve, the sounds that you hear from the blow off valve is the airflow escaping the valve. unless if you put a ai pump in your car to push air into the blowoff valve i can't think of anyother way and i highly doubt you would want to make a move like that because it's absolutly useless.
