Default blow off valve?

I own a 2002 Lexus sc430, i am considering on adding a blow off valve to give it that extra noise when i shift gears. any recommendations on the types of blow off valves that should deliver what i want?

Search sc430 on YouTube and you will see a white twin turbo sc430 from Japan.

Obviously the OP is not going to spend 20K + on fitting a turbo to get a little bit of noise.

Might as well buy one of these

Personally I would just stick a CD in no doubt less repetitive.

Am I the only one who things "sounding" turbocharged vs actually "being" turbocharged is a tad on the ridiculous side?

To the OP, if your car isn't yet turbocharged, I think that BOV is quite low on the totem pole of priorities compared to other components you need to be concerning yourself with...particularly if all you're looking for is 'noise'.

I confirm you're not alone gt4play...
How about some fake RayBans and a fake Rolex to go with that fake turbo

Is it April 1st??
