   Hi some of you turbo tuned may think i stupid but just had a thought cause i really want that dump valve sound!! Ive got a compressor on my car for air horns, but does anyone know if i took the air horns off the end and stick a dumpvalve on the end would it make the same kind of sound??

   you're joking right?! even if it did work, how would you synchronise it so it made the 'ptshhh' noise every time you either lifted off the accelerator/changed gear??

   press the horn when you let off and change gear of course! Onto a winner there !

   I havent got musical ones just the standered two so they activate at the same time, Ive got a presure swith that could clip on the intake which you can set to got off at different presures so would it be a case of just putting the tubes from the compressor to a dump valve??

   hence lol
   
   Honestly, its not worth it. If you want that sound, in my opinion the only way to get it is by getting a turbo and then fitting an uprated dumpvalve.
   
   P.S: CHAV-TASTIC... Great word hehe!

   The sound is created when the air is expelled through the dump valve at high pressure, you would have to think up some way of getting say, 1 BAR of pressure out of your engine/ compressor without damaging it at the same time as you accelerate/ lift off, to get the sound, dont think its possible without a turbo
   
   You would get cained by vts's at the lights anyways once they found out you dont actually have a turbo , lol
