get a super small turbo with a sensative blow off valve.

Ok, obviously your an auto if you only get it when punching the gas. Manuals get the sound when shifting and hitting the gas. The sound isnt going to be there all the time unless you are at the RPM that requires the most air. If you want more sound then get a Throttle body spacer and a new throttle body. More air going in means more air being consumed and the higher the velocity with the flow and consumption.

And trust me, you would hate it all the time. On long trips my wifes whistles at 55-65mph and its just annoying.

unless he ports the intake, the TB wont do anything, and a spacer is completely useless

What other mods do you have. I mean, without dual exhaust, you still have a flow restriction.
