Huh?



Isn't that really, really bad?
well it's the reason you have a blow off valve.



the turbo setup on marcos car was just put together and they didnt have time to swap over the blow off valve apparently.



it's an automatic car so it's not like he gets off the throttle with every shift, they barely made it for qualifying that day, were changing turbos in the parking lot.

Hah, well it's all making sense now.



I knew that was the reason for a BOV, so that's why I was like, why would he run without one?



I tried to get a list of his mods but couldn't find much searching Google. I also saw the vid of them changing the turbo...crazy.

yeah, I work with one of the guys involved with scandalous racing... he's visible in some of the shots helping with the car. But I don't think I should reveal too much info

What about the WRC rally cars? They sound the same. Do they not have blow-off valves or what? I also have thise video of drift compilations and like half of them have that sound when they let off the throttle.

I dunno, I'm not going to speculate on cars I don't know anything about.



Like I said, I work with the guy who helped put the turbo on that white car so I can answer the question with some level of confidence, I asked him what BOV marco's car had when he beat titan in texas and he said none...



not sure about wrc.
