Default turbo XS BOV?

I'm sure this topic has been covered before but its hard to search for it cause I cant search for XS!

Ok my question is how do you guy like it and does anyone have vid or audio of how it sounds? thanks

If you guys have a link to another post with a vid or audio that would be great

yep my coworker have a turbo xs RFL BOV on his lude. i went with him on a drive around the block couple of times and even when he shift at 25-3k rpms it lets off a LOUD WOOOOOSH.
and when he take it to red line the damm thin gets SO damn loud between that and the sound the External wastgate makes people WILL really stop what they are doing just to look and see what that noise is.the wastgate sound almost lige a trans-am with BIG cams and tuned exhaust in one.and the BOV sounds as loud or maybe louder and almost identical to a mack truck or a tractor trailer BOV or when they use the air brake!!me also have a external wastegate with aopen dump and a RFL bov but my car is still in the shop so i don't
know how mine will sound compare to his.but mine should be louder becaust i will prolly boost 12psi daily and 18-20 when i race where as he is 10 daily and when he really to bleep someone up he turns it up to 15psi.get the rfl is soo cool and the chicks dig it man!!

Well that was quite a story! Wow. Anyway the RFL is the loudest or real close. I love my Blitz. Real smooth PSSHHHHH. Not loud enough to scare pedestrians though.

yeah my asst.manager has a lsvtec in his crx
and he has the blitz BOV i don't like it tough
i mean it sounds good when your in the car but outside it not really the kind of woosh you expect.it's kinda like a fast mello woosh.the sound of the turbo spool-up is almost louder been that he have a quiet exhaust.and he boost 12psi with only a block guard.
