    Default anything for a noisy turbo pop off valve

    with noisy turbocharger pressure pop off valves being the fashion, its rumoured that one young local VL owner is paying a fortune to get a turbo added so he can get a noisy valve.

    I hope he improves the suspension and brakes...

    If he is just after the sound, I am sure he can pick up one of those noise makers on eBay.

    what a useless thread, and who cares if he doesnt do brakes and suspension its not the end of the world. how manny people do you think actually do that stuff when they convert to turbo... brakes maybe but you could survive with a stock set up, I wouldnt bother with either as mines calais so i already got disk all round and ive lowered my car properly. and also vl 5speed is right **** a blow off vaulve off its all about the dose.... unles you got a manual... then its gay
