I found this,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Unive...ht_5931wt_1137
I have never heard of this (literally) so this makes the "blow off sound" of a Turbo on a NA car, reminds me of Baseball cards in the spokes of my bike at 9 years old...

Fake Turbos are so much better than Real Turbos!

With a Fake Turbo:

-You Get Better MPG

-You don't have let your car cool down, before shutting it off

-There is No need for an Intercooler, Extra Oil Lines, or a Boost Controller

-And Best Of All, you don't have to deal with all that Unnecessary Extra Horse Power!

Does it make more of a wheezing sound for slower cars? Kind of ebarassing to hearing a turbo screaming and the car not accelerating quickly...!???
