WTF is that. is this really what our cars have come to? my car is in no way "RICE" so he wasnt being sarcastic, he really thought that i needed to have a VTA BOV to make my huevos look bigger or something. i wanted to beat all three of them back into the 80's but i had to get back to work, and traffic was a biotch. seriously though, why would anyone say that? do i have less of a car because i dont VTA my blow off valve? is the car really not cool unless you do? did these guy learn everything they know (obviously a very limited amount) about cars from a video game, or a movie? what is the world coming too? anyway, sorry i had to vent, maybe i will see them later. this happened only 5 minutes ago. does this happen to anyone else?
ps- i am not trashing anyone with a VTA, i just dont have one. apperantely that makes my car less cool to high school dropout wannabe cracker thugs.

you bumped a thread that has been dead for two months to ask me that? they were stoners, i know, i used to be one. as for the dropout thing, yea it was a stretch but i am not to worried about making generalizations about it. maybe in your opinion the car sounds better with a VTA, but i dont think so. i find it kind of obnoxious, in a car that is obnoxious enough. (yes i love my evo, but i dont drive it to attract attention) i just dont see the point, except that they sound better/different. if i wanted my car to sound "awesome" i would definately get on though. thanks.
PS- how old are you? if i drove the evo at 18 i would have one, but i didnt, and i am not 18 anymore.

You Okay Man?
But anyways i had a VTA BOV (Turbo XS H-34) and it was fun and all until it pratically unscrewed itself and fell off when i was driving! HA! Now i'm back to recirc with a Greddy Type S which has a subtle sound. VTA's are best when you see old people walking on the sidewalk and then you pull a high RPM and shift out. haha, sorry i'm sucha nerd. Well i had my fun.
