Not gonna lie, I actually kind of like some of those crazy Japanese cars haha

Like this xB-- I've seen it in person at Scion shows/meets and I gotta say, while it may be extreme, you can tell a lot of work was put into it, inside and out:

It basically makes turbo sounds through a speaker. You press a button and it emits a blow off noise.

I disagree. It depends on which springs are used.
The shocks and/or struts need to be changed only for serious drops. I don't believe shocks need to be replaced with a mild 1 inch drop. Some aftermarket shocks just make the ride stiffer but don't last as long as stock shocks. Some coilovers give out as well.
For slammed cars, yes. I'd use coilovers, sways and camber adjustments if necessary. WHich they probably wouldn't with a good quality set of coils.
FOr slammed cars with springs, definitely change it all.

i dont mind it either. as long as the workmanship is good, i'd rather see people doing something to a car rather than nothing and leaving it showroom boring.

dear god, no wonder the import "tuners" are looked down upon by a lot of people. **** like that running around make me embarrassed to call myself an import tuner fan.

You don't need a blow-off valve with a turbo folks. You can have a diverter valve instead. I have a twin turbo and it doesn't sound that bad when I drive around. I hate that noise.

I am pretty sure they were talking about the "slammed look" when they said ,quote... So although I agree that you "may" not need to changes shocks ect,ect for a mild drop , in this instance we are talking serious drops in the cars height which is what I was commenting on.

how can you boost for two hours straight? the turbo doesnt do anything when your cruising....

a diverter valve is another name for a recirculated blow off valve. same thing, same purpose, just piped back into the intake for mass air setups. still "blows off", you just dont' hear it.

anytime you go up a small hill, you'll start to get into boost, or just a little throttle to pass a truck; unless you're running a drag type turbo setup.

you can pretty much hear it all the time on a freeway drive unless you're coasting or on level ground. i love it, still, after all these years of driving turbo cars. my truck is modded and that thing sounds like a semi truck going down the freeway, turbo spooling anytime i hit a small hill, or accelerate slightly.

I know you know but there was a member who seemed to be unsure after reading the posts. I just wanted to make sure it was clear.
