Do you understand what it does?

You can get one, and you can install it. It just won't do anything.

What boost will you let off? I'd suggest an eBay whistler tip.

I hate everyone buying a blow off valve now on cars that have no need. Get an intake, you could hear your throttle body opening and closing after every gear if you want a sound in between gears

OP, please don't put this on your car. Leave the blow off valve for the cars that are actually turbocharged and don't even need one.

Big turbo, big intercooler, no BOV here.

Why stop at the BOV, weld in an external gate and have it dump to atmosphere at full throttle.

He's actually "swanging" his car lol. A lot of dumbasses here where I live do it. What cracks me up more is when he ran the stop sign right after lol.

suggestion - sell the TL and buy a turbo car... only way that sound will truly get you excited.. And make sure the turbo is on a RWD car..

I've always wanted a Lexus like yours. It would be hard to decide between the Supra or the SC though. But I've always been into the sleeper thing. When people see a MKIV Supra they assume it runs 10s. Only car guys know anything about a swapped SC.

Hell yeah. SC's a 20 year old design and still looks better than 99% of new cars on the road. If it's turbo'd, all the better.



Gorgeous car

That reminds me of a time coming back from Vegas. I was coming up on this car and I see a head pop up through the rear glass. So I back off, falling back and I see the head disappear back down to the driver seat. So I speed up and the head comes back up as I get near. I messed with this car for 10 minutes, totally ruining whatever they had going on.
