[s-cars] Diverter valve question

[Taka Mizutani]

Rolf-
When the engine is cold, the Bailey valves tend to make a "phssssht" sound
when you shut the throttle.

Your customer's request is rather funny, but to each his/her own.

Tell the customer that what he/she wants in terms of sound are the HKS
Super Sequential blowoff valves, but they are not good in a car running a
MAF-
it will run rich on shifts, not good for the engine.

I won't use a blowoff valve for this reason, although my stock valve makes
quite
a sound on cold days. I guess factory-built rice has its benefits. :-)
