Personally i think it would sound like shit, why would you want to have your car sounding like a turbo if it isn't?

Plus the turbo spool sound is very unique.

I drove the astra T without an exhaust and i couldn't even hear the turbo spool up, with intake and exhaust you can hear the turbo spool up even with the windows up.

I dunno just my two cents would waste my dosh on it

it may not make your car turbo but but but it'll give it the vtec effect atleast... thats like 30psi at 1500rpm! :D

^^^ :lol: ^^^

And if you get a huge vtec sticker across your windscreen, it'll lower the drag co-efficient which in turn will drop your 1/4 mile times by atleast 3 seconds...

Please plase fellas your forgetting the most essential part of everything

The Graphics stickers that go on the side whic make the car full sick, and don't forget to recline your seat all the way as if you sleeping in the front seat. Oh and yes you need the fluffy dice hanging down on the rear view mirror too

hahahaha

i knew i forgot something!!!
Lying down while driving help distribute your weight evenly through the car, and hence increase performance and handling.

does anyone want to go halves??? its shareable!!! :lol:

or we could put in and destroy it? it would make me feel better that there was one less of these things in the world! :lol:

i suppose i could mount it to my ryobi blower/vac so i could sound like i had a turbo when i am gardening :lol:

thanks for the offer though

rather than actually buying one, i'm more interested in knowing if it even sounds like a turbo....

me being in an N/A astra here, shouldm't the spooling sound be coming from under the bonnet and not the exhaust?.... it would sound pretty fk'n stoopid
