What BOV is this?

I promise this is the single most rice question I will ask of rx7club. I was watching clips on youtube and came across the FEED FD that was on Hot Version Touge Battle...video here http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pda_nzfrYY0

Anyway, I'm hoping some expert ears can tell me what BOV it is, it's like a 'staged sound' coming out in a few bursts...it's not very high pitched and doesn't seem obnoxiously loud.

Any ideas?

edit: I swear to god that's not me commenting on the video

Unhappy

FEED FD FTW!!!!!! I love that car.



Man this is one funny vid. I think the Japanese tune their cars to have that compressor surge sound, seems like every car surges.



Sounds cool, but i guess it reduces the life of the turbo.

It's compressor surge, a lot of JP companies tune their cars to have it, i.e. orido's supra, the touge monster r34 gtr, etc.
