To tell u the truth, I have a manual vehicle and kinda like the sound of the blow off valve. So I was wondering if it can be installed on my call without any problem. Also wanted to know what it is for?

amm no mate can only be used on turbocharged engines
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve
A blowoff valve is a pressure release system present in turbocharged engines, its purpose is to prevent compressor surge and reduce wear on the engine
have the electric ones that you can install though
not the real ting it jus makes the sound via a speaker

oohhhh laawwwdd..... here we go again!
Save your money and put it towards an intake or something breads. You get a lil better performance with that. Plus it makes a nice whhoowwwww sound when you accelerating
:D:D
Next thing yuh sneezing off, and ah man wah test yuh - and he wet yuh muddac**t - how yuh go feel?
Plus - that thing advertised in
NiSmO-R link look like it would only restrict your exhaust, when you really want to free up your exhaust - so you would actually get worse performance!

Guys you all making real sense. Thanks for the info. So what can I do to give the car a lil zest. I have a cone K& N and a low restriction muffler so far. Need some ideals. The car is an Almera QG16VVT 5fwd gearbox.

Hoss yuh should look through the QG united thread. You could
1. Take out your Catalytic convertor
2. Service your injectors and throttle body
3. Get some NGK iradium plugs
4. Possibly install some extractors
5. And run premium if you not presently
these things should give you ah lil pep without having to pelt out ne big money
