We got a guy here with a 2 G Talon ESI who wouldnt tell us (sitting in the paring lot) if he had a turbo kit on it. He wouldn't pop his hood but when he took off (shitty driving might I add) there was a turbo sound. I am not familiar enough to tell if it was fake or what but... they do make BOV's for non turbo cars right? It was really loud so, is there a way to fake the pssssssssssssshhhhh sound that well? He wouldnt pop the hood and im guessing its because he didnt want people to know it was fake, why else would he be ashamed?

Thanks for the info
 
if he did turbo it, and it was loud then its a atmosphere bov, (hah unlikely w/o more mods)

so more then likely it was faaaaake

Not really you can vent a stock setup. But you gotta listen for the spoolup along with the bov. In order for it to be really loud he would have to have made some type of boost. So look for his accel. too. He can't possibly be goin 10 mph and blast off that loud.:thumb:
 
Well I been talking to the guy more and he popped his hood finally. No fake BOV, but he has no idea why it makes that sound. He thinks someone had a turbo kit on it before, and took it off? But why would it still make that sound? WTF could possibly make that pssssssssh sound? no1 knows around here

So you saw the Bov???? There is no way in hell that the car would blow off if he didn't have a turbo. Especially if it blows off loud. So he's gotta have a turbo kit on it.

Congratulations, you've met the dumbest person in your town. Unless he confused _you_, of course.:thumb:

Was his name Bob?
 
Being pricks is a waste of time. There is No BOV, no Turbo, No Speaker, trust me. I would like to get a shot of the engine bay, and a sound clip but wait a minute, you guys are a waste of time so why bother? If im the dubest guy in town, why dont any of the import 'experts' here know why the #### it makes that sound?
 
yea he is, and he and everybody in his town are rice loving non turboing stupid shits. That dont know a damn thing about cars.

OK.... Not everybody! I live in the same town, hate rice, and the last time I checked my profile didn't own a n/a DSM!

There are some STUPID "F&F Rulz" FU(Ks in this town, yes. I'm definately not one of them. It sure is amusing to watch/listen to these clueless kids talk thou.

Hey InFamous... point him out to me some time. I'd like to see under the hood and straighten this mess out once and for all!
