Turbo-sounding Intake
Hey guys, I was wondering how you make a turbo-sounding intake. My friend has a intake on his Acura Integra Ls that makes it sound like it has a turbo, he said that he made it himself. He said it is an intake that has a breather in it and that makes it blow off when he shifts. I was wondering if anybody has made a custom intake for their mitsubishi eclipse so it sounded like a turbo or is their directions for it. Thanks.

Exactly... I'm guessing he also had some electronic dohickey hooked up to the throtle or ECU or something that sensed when he let off the gas and make the BOV noise lol...

I saw on Ebay a thing that bolts onto your muffler and is supposed to make a turbo sound.

Why would you want your car to sound like it has Turbo but doesn't? Just my opinion...kinda like a non functional cowl induction hood. I'm not criticizing you, just asking why you would want that. I know this site is all personal preferences showing through on everyones cars and I respect that.

Well, I have a nice eclipse and I love my car. I don't have enough money yet til this job i am doing goes in full effect. My boys at MTS work all on Eclipse's and Talons, they told me that they would get me a greddy stage II turbo with installation plus transmission swap to manual for a grand. I think that is pretty good, also, they said for another $1000, they would make my eclipse 4 wheel drive with drum to disc brakes swap, plus give me a tuner piggyback chip. I think that is a pretty good for what they are asking. I can't wait till I start working full time again, and I will be able to make that money i would say in about 2 months if i don't spend heavy on anything.

All u have to do is instead of the vacume line from the intake to the engine head, all u have to do is buy two breathers and hook them up one to the intake and one to the engine head. That's what ur friend must have done.
