Why not attach a turbine type whistle like you get in show bags.... *vrooooooOOOM.....WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee!*
Here's possibly a stupid question... how exactly DOES a throttle close when there is 12 PSI of air flowing past it? Does the equalizing effect of the air on each half of it make it easy to open and close? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Charles Scealy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 2:46 PM Subject: RE: BOV Sounds > My old car used to do that with no BOV on closed throttle like you say. > I have always been a bit dubious of the theory that air rushing back > could damage a turbo though, has anyone ever had any damage that you > could attribute to the lack of a BOV?
