i have a weird ?
first. do u need to have a MT to have a blow-off valve?
second. if u dont, is it possible to put in a blow-off vavle before u put in ur turbo...so u just have the noise when ur car shifts gears?cuz i love that "turbo" noise

BOV's are to vent off any excess pressure in your intake so you don't overboost your engine. In a car without a turbo or super, you have a vacuum. In turbo or supercharged cars, you have a possitive pressure (boost). It is impossible for a n/a engine to have possitive pressure (thus a use for a BOV)
As for BOV's and transmission...you can have a BOV in either one. It serves more of a purpose in a manual though.
The the "turbo noise" you speak of is the BOV. Of course the turbo itself gives off a whistle or a little whine (depending on what kind of turbo is used)
So to answer your questions:
1. No, you don't *have* to have a manual to have a BOV.
2. And while you can physically put a BOV on an n/a engine, it will do absolutly nothing other than be a waste of $150-$400. It won't make a sound or anything.

As much as I don't like it....there is an option out there if you really want it. It involves a little black box with a pre-recorded BOV sound and it being wired to a loud speaker under the hood.
I don't know the URL off the top of my head but it's been talked about before on the TL board. I'm sure a quick search would turn it up.

Oh yeah, just wait till a turbo Supra hears that noise coming from your car and smokes you up and down the road.
Why not spend your money on something that actually makes horsepower?
