BLOW OFF VALVE W/O TURBO?, I want the sound!!! Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Ok, i know its kinda a cheezy to have a blow-off valve sound without the actual blow-off valve and turbo. But my car is all Show and no go, and i want that sound without having to spend $3000 to $4gs. It's rediculous when i just want the sound, i heard they make some Intakes that come close? any ideas?

I'm not one to normally slam, but man, no offense...but if there's a stereotype direction that "ricers" go into...you're headed into it. Like your profile says you wanna hit 250-350hp...but you're not willing to spend enough money to turbo ur car to get the real blow off valve sound? Kind of an oxymoron I'm thinking, because if you aren't willing to spend a g or two to get a turbo kit or swap in a 3sgte...then this would mean you wanna go all motor or something AND we all know you can't get that much power from the 5sfe doing mods under a grand. I don't know, man you gotta get your ideas and goals straight here. I'm trying not to be mean, and this is not the intention of the post either. Just some advice I guess to try and set your goals straight on a path and not say things that are complete opposites such as "I want 250-350 hp, but I don't wanna spend the money to get it there" lol...kinda funny I guess. But yeah man, you can check out that tsunami turbo thingy, it has a speaker and makes the sound at a certain rpm.

Also, that e-turbo I bought and tried out for everyone so they could all see it doesnt work, had a neat sound. It bogged down my car a lot and made it a bit slower, but you can get that and think you're gaining power and then you get the blow off sound too...for the same price as that tsunami thing. Whatever floats your boat I guess...

But my honest opinion says why not actually save up for making the blow off valve a working part of a turbo system on your ride? You could either do a swap...or...you could turbocharge your 5sfe for not much more than a grand or grand and a half out of your pocket. And then you'll have some go to back up the show you're going for, or you could forget the turbo sound and spend the money on a body kit to actually make your car have a "show-car-esque" presence, cuz as it sits, it kinda looks stock and pretty much a starter car for any direction you wanna go whether it's show, some show/some go, or all go. Whatever floats your boat man.
