normal blow off valves = a) whoa what sound is that car making [or] b) nice turbo!

turboxs RFL = "THE **** WAS THAT ****???!!"

this is from personal experience, the first time you hear the RFL in real life , you will come to understand its ridiculousness. it sounds like a damn bus/18 wheeler... of course, i guess that appeals to some people

I have had that one and now i have the hks ssqv gold insert. I love my hks one its a complete different sound though, it helped my idiling problem to, and maintined boost levels better when on and off the throttle better than the xs and regular bov. IMHO you get what you pay for.

How does the gold insert sound? I have the purple one and it sounds kind of cheesy

Its really high picted, its shorter than the purple but louder. Kind of hard to explain, i only bought it because I took it apart for polishing and lost the purple piece.
