    Blow off values actually harms your performance if you're running at low boost. After market blow off valves are designed with stiffer springs to hold in higher boost. (~22 PSI or higher). So it's actually best to keep the stock waste gate or swap to the JDM or the STI ones. I'm a fan of the dark side (The Evo)

    dump valves that make sounds, do sound cool, but get annoying after a while

    i'll have to agree with fearless i definitely like the sound that a supercharger makes over the sound of the turbo hissing...those mercedes amg supercharges had an awesome whine when they made them

    i like the sound of the supercharged ford f150 or the 250 super desil

    u should hear it with sum race cams. sounds more aggresive

    ls-v turbo is possible. vtec kicks in when the motor reaches a rpm point and that just activates the extra lobes on the cams thus u get that variable valve timing and u get that aggresive noise and power.
    when the turbo kicks in, it adds a massive amount of air and exhaust gases thus pushing the car a lot harder.
    its two differt things. just like turbo and nos. long story short, its possible.

    i have a friend with a ls-v turbo integra that pulls low 11's on the track
