not to sound like a ricer, but I want one that sounds like those diesel trucks. Even though I am used to turbos, those damn things scare me from time to time. Anyone have a pic of the Turbo XS RFL?

the air sound from the diesel trucks you're hearing are probably the air brakes.

Yeah its the governor kicking out at 120 psi for the air brakes. All the diesel rigs i have driven dont have loud sounding blow off valves, but i would love to put one in. I drool everytime i see the turbo set ups on our trucks.

I like my Tial, it's not the loudest, but it gets the job done and that's what matters to me.

i have a GFB hybrid diverter valve on my 02 1.8t it vents some back to the MAS to keep the car running right and vents some to the atmosphere to give it the BOV sound. it sounds ok but not that loud.

turbo xs sounds nice and is very loud even on soft low rpm shifts. the Blitz sounds like **** to me. its much to soft. go greddy or hks ssqv if not the TXS.

after i rebuilt my single cam for turbo, i ran 5psi on break in with the rfl, it made ricers, old people, girls, dudes with loud systems all turn their head in a break neck fasion. the rfl sounds dope, it put my friends 1.8t to shame (he has the greddy)
