Default Can you install a Blowoff without a Turbo??

Hey i was wondering if you could install some type of blow off without actually having a Turbo. I love the sound of a Blow off valve while your shifting. Any way possible to get that without a turbo???

well... ive heard of an electric thing that supposedly sounds like one, but, that sounds like Rice to me. just save up for the turbo so you can cash the checks your BOV writes. i know it takes a while, ive been wanting a turbo for years, now im gettin close and i cruise with a bunch of turbo cars, so ive been bitten by the boost bug.

Its totally pointless and it wont work. I read ablut something on ebay where its a speaker and it makes the blow off sound whenever you shift, but like said before... its at the top of the rice list.

Yeah DO NOT BUY that fake turbo sound thing off ebay. I have seen it on a few cars around my house. Just a litting thing you stick in your exhaust, and I dont think it will even fit in an after-market exhaust. Dont false advertise, save up and get the real thing. Just my opinion.
