Pro charger blow off valve thing??

I'm pretty sure it is a pressure release valve.
It releases built up boost from the intake when the throttle is closed(aka shifting gears). I do like the sound as well but I will probably be hearing it with a turbo hopefully

Yup. Pressure release valve. Unless I go over 3.5k rpm it doesnt make the noise.

Its just like a blow-off valve for a turbo. When the throttle closes, you hear "intake flatulation", lol. When you shift, it farts. If you hold it in gear to get the rpms up, but without smashing the gas, it farts. Once you hit the gas, the farting stops. Sounds pretty damn cool to me too. I like mine.

I haven't heard mine from the outside yet but I know it's loud because people jerk their heads to look.
My wife says she thinks the car is laughing when I shift.
