Ok if I pick up this merkur it is a turbo and I was wanting to find a BOV for it... so anyone have any sound files of theirs? I have heard some that sound like crap... some that sound fake... also I dont want it really frickin loud.



So let me know what you guys use... what you like... and if you have any sound files email them to me or post them on nopistons!



Thanks!

I like it to be noticable but not scare the **** out of myself...
