    The turbo noise is significantly louder with just a new intake over stock. I just installed the Forge BOV this week and it's even louder now. Great sound without messing up your ECU like other BOVs will do.

    The Forge POV makes a pretty cool sound, I have one that Way installed. I think he means your exhaust will get more throaty with the intake.

    guys what im referring to as great sound is the sound that you hear when the pedal is released, is that just the ForgeBOV or the CAI?

    You'll hear it much louder with just a CAI. But a BOV in addition to a CAI will make it really loud. Go on YouTube and look up Forge BOV on Coopers. Couple good videos.

    The noise is mainly the CAI. I've got the Alta and it makes that noise all the time. Makes sucking noises when you press the gas too. It's sounds nice. :)

    I enjoyed the Forge spacer that goes on the stock recirculation valve. Made a nice sound when paired with the Alta Intake. Made AMAZING sound with the M7 Super AGS intake and a Unichip (when it worked)... sounded just like the 1:00-1:07 in the vid

    Buy an Alta CAI and you will get that sound but louder than the Forge. Also do the noisemaker delete which takes some of the fake engine noise out of the cabin.
