Ok I have two different sides to this...

1. No one will ever initiate a race with me, I hear stories about people getting chased down in traffic and revved on, it has NEVER happened to me. Now I have one of the more quiet BOV's although it is vented, you have to really listen for it, but more of that in part 2...

2. Getting people to notice is a different story. I have a T25, and I reach max boost around 2800-3000rpm. That is with daily driving, no need to floor it. So that mean the turbo easily begins to spool down low around 2000rpm. The problem is no matter how fast I get up to speed or how slow I'm going I ALWAYS blow off. Example - last weekend I rolled into Kroger to meet some of my friends, as I passed some group of people, I shifted and let out a little "pssshh", not on purpose at all. Maybe it was the lack of knowledge about cars or that they were just total assholes, but they go and start cheering trying to make fun of me So if you were there (I won't name any names, I did recognize one or two of you) you are dumb as shit.

So getting a race? No, but getting people to notice isn't hard.
