Wallace Mfg. is proud to introduce the all-new
SUNAMI TURBO NOISE SIMULATOR.

The SUNAMI will simulate the “psssst” noise generated from the blow off valve of a turbo-equipped vehicle.

The SUNAMI comes complete with all hardware, which includes a manual push button trigger mechanism as well as a vacuum switch trigger mechanism.

After setting a trigger boost level through an adjustable setscrew on the vacuum pressure switch, every time you reach the set boost, the SUNAMI will simulate the “psssst” noise generated from the blow off valve of a turbo vehicle.

An additional override button also allows you to trigger the SUNAMI anytime.

To learn more about how the SUNAMI is triggered, please see the instructions page.

I think this is the only time I rather put a real BOV on an NA car. At least then it'll be closer to a real turbo setup.

Some cars make very different sounds, take an SRT-4 and its Mopar buddy the Cirrus Turbo even the Stratus Turbo. Some turbos, like the VWs, I can't even hear.

I remember someone came out with something that would mimick muscle car sounds.

How about mimicking the nitrous sound complete with a purge?

And I thought the front mount intake that looks like an intercooler was pushing it.
