Default Do you need turbo in order to add a BOV?

Or can I just add the blow off valve itself?

wow...this thread is ******* retarded. No you cant add a BOV to your lame setup because in order to release pressure to make the sound, you need to first create that pressure.....can you even afford a bov?

Schister, keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

They're right.

You will gain some nice power and ofcourse the awesome sound if you add the BOV.

Post some pics when you're done.
