Dump valve - To make noise, or not to make noise, that is the question

Thought it might be interesting to compile the results into a poll type format

Noisy ones are not for me at all tbh.
Pretty chav-tastic.
And if a person hears it that has no interest in cars, or any idea what it is, they will laugh.
So quiet all the way

Wastegate chatter sounds pretty cool, im all up for that but just not big Whoooshh!!'s

put a decent air filter on,you can hear everything the turbos doin just thru the filter,and not as over the top as an atmospheric dump valve.
use a recirculating 1,then instead ov wasting gases,your keeping the turbo spinning during gear changes=quicker acceleration!so while sum1 else is busy makin noises,your overtaking them!

wise words, much agree ...i still love a noisey one tho!

yeah my mates got a scooby wrx and anothers got rev 3 mr2 turbo........and they sound awsome!!!
but i think they only suit "loud" styles of cars, golfs hav always been more of an understated style if that makes sense!

[dubsport]

can you get quiet ones for mk2 8v gti's?

[topher]

only if it has a turbo strapped to it
