I want to add a turbo into my 99 GS 420a. I dont want to run, i only want it for the BOV sound. What do i need besides the turbo. What do i need to do to the engine. Can i run turbo setup safely on my stock engine.... only mods i have is a intake, exaust, and headers

Please for the love of god someone lock this thread. We need a new section labled ricers dumb questions.

Should we even point him in the direction of the SEARCH button?? lol

Turbo Project *DELAYED*:

wow, you really want to waste all this money to turbo your car, just to not boost it and just have the bov sound?

let us define this vehicle:

1. rice burner
185 up, 24 down


What every 16-20 year old who's seen "The Fast and the Furious", or "2 Fast 2 Furious" is likely to drive. Usually running a ridiculous amount of negative wheel camber due to the car being lowered without getting an alignment done, wheels larger than can reasonably fit in the wheelwells (giving lots of tire rub), a 3 foot tall aluminum wing, under car neon tubing, "Type R" decals, a boost gauge (esp in a normally aspirated car), and has the overall appearance of an automobile onto which every advertiser in Super Street has barfed a part.
Required equipment includes a 5 inch exhaust tip on an otherwise stock exhaust system, a 4 million watt stereo system that, from outside the car, seems to do mothing other than vibrate the rear hatch glass, and every aftermarket gauge that the local Pep Boys carries (not necessarily connected to anything).
Not to be confused with a "tuner car", which may be quite a bit faster than anything you've seen away from a racetrack.

2. An automobile that has been equipped with gawdy, unnesecary accessories, such as 3' high spoilers, loud and/or repulsive paint job and body work. Owners of such automobiles feel that these accessories make their car the best in the world, when in fact it is not.

I'll be the nice guy ... welcome to the site ... your "14" post count indicates you haven't been around long. This is probably the most extensive web-site on turbo charging 420A's on the internet. On the main page check under the FAQ section and utilize the "search" button. When you've throughly read over everything you can absorb for 2 weeks post questions about anything not clear and the guys/girls will be happy to answer your question and assist with you car.

you can buy a fake BOV noise that you put in your exhaust for 50 bucks on ebay. Do it. you ll save yourself time and money, and most importantly, you ll save us time not reading your bullshit.

This post made me laugh so hard that everyone in the computer room here in (location classified) looked at me like "what the fuck?". Thanks, I really needed to get a good laugh out.

look, this car belongs to my little newfew, all he wanted is a honest anwer not everyone bashing on him. Im only trying to help him out cuz he is new to the scene and i want to get it out of his system. I know it St*id to put all this money to the car just for the BOV sound, but i dont mind, of course im not that dumb on just putting it on without any boost to come out of it.....all we wanted to know is if its safe to put on a stock engine.....he used the seach button but no luck..... come on....he is only 17

Lol, the old "uhhh its for my friend" trick. hehe. suuuuuure it is.

Re-read the 1st post.

Did "he" actually push the search button because a simple search on stock internals would have brought about a bazillion posts about how a turbo up until appox 8psi can be ran on a stock engine.

I think that he would be better off getting an airhorn and sounding it every time he shifted.
