Everybody loves the sound of a BOV, but what everybody loves MORE is the POWER you get from why you HAVE a BOV.... Hum... Personally, I wouldn't spend $2000+ on a custom turbo kit JUST to get the sound of a BOV. That would be recockulious. If you love the sound of a BOV, but dont want to spend a lot of money, Sell your contour, and buy an Eagle Talon TSI and put an aftermarket BOV on it. Problem solved.
Well put. I didn't put a full custom turbo kit on my Escort for a PSSSHHHTT. It was a added bonus. You add positive manifold pressure for horsepower gains - no one turbo's a car for the sound. If you have the engery, intelligence, and money to turbo a car, you are after higher performance, not a cool sound. I reaserched and read about turbos, A/F ratio's, timing and boost control for over a year and then began to collect parts for my project. I had never heard the Greddy Type-S BOV I bought until I was done with the project, but it is surely an added bonus to shifting after you spool up the turbo.
I my opinion, if you have a BOV that is loud, it serves as a method to show off you turbo. A BOV without a turbo would be like a computer without a power supply, like a mechanic without tools, like a Honda without a fart tube, like a ...
Also, you are right, this is a great site for Contour information. I looked for a while and this site rocks for Contour troubleshooting and performance info. I can just imagine this "professional forum" that has how to's on how to hook a BOV to an air compressor and holding tank with a purge valve.
