For some reason I love that sound and would be happy if this setup could do that as well:
I am looking into other mods, like ECU chips, ect... but would like to have this turbo installed first before getting any mods.
Thanks for those that contribute to us novice peeps.

- Yeah, on top of the price of the ESC add a blow off valve. They aren't needed for 5-8 psi but I sure would get one.

A Blow-Off Valve (BOV) can be used as well. They make the 'hissing' sound usually heard on turbo cars. You will get that same sound when shifting of lifting of the throttle. The adjustable ones are $85-$250. The Turbo XS high boost version or similar work great" (Thomas Knight, installation instructions).
- Don't pay attention to Dynamics he is very negative about everything and that is mostly because he can not afford them or put the time to study them out.
