would you really want it? AFAIK it's mainly so you don't bog down in 1st gear on a launch... but with FWD it's more like to be wheelspin? :)

he he well yeah it does sound pretty awesome.

If you get a straight through custom exhaust (i.e. no mufflers) you'll get some of the pops and bangs even without it.

I can get mine to burble and pop by revving to 3000 and pumping the throttle a little (and I've still got a backbox in my exhaust - had the middlebox removed)

a De-Cat with raise the noise and banging sounds even more - you'll get that crack sound when you change gear etc....

If you get a custom remap they might be able to 'map in' the overrun pops and bangs for you too.

Note of caution - you'll need a good hifi so you don't commit suicide on long runs from the exhaust drone!

Besides... a T5 sounds wicked all of the time... if you get a forge BOV, de-cat and straight thru exhaust, yours will sound BETTER than an evo or Scooby, it'll sound like a group B Audi Quattro ;)

If I ever won the lottery - I'd want my road car to sound exactly like that - then see the look on the Corsa brigades' faces when you give that a good rev!

I think you need an strengthen turbo to use it, lest thats what I seem to remember

i've got the exhaust bypass valve & launch control set on hard rev cut to get the most out of the pops & bangs lol

you do get pops on over-run with a decat, had a few people comment on flames out the back as well

My good friend who passed just last month once claimed I had flames shooting out my exhaust when I popped the gas in while in park.

My car has an annoying 4k limit on it when it's not in drive. :(
