A turbo

When one of your car's add-on's, eg. alternator, Power Steering pump extr, start to developt a bearing defect. The car will sound as if you have a turbo in.

to determine witch part is starting to fail, open the hood and listen.

Use a long screwdriver, put the handle against your ear and press the metal point on the housings of the different parts when the car is idling. Just like a docter use a stetoscope.

short and simple answer. You cant,and if you do you just come across simply as a wannabee and tryhard,and pretty much just make yrself look like a big fool in the process. There are only 3 ways to get that sound 1 engine swap,get a turbo engine,take yr non turbo engine out,put turbo one in 2 part with 3 grand or more and get a turbo kit 3 buy a proper turbo car,dont try turn yr car into something its not,whether you have a sound like a blowoff valve on it,you know within yrself your not driving a turbo car,yr only a wannabee thats pretending to have a turbo when your in a non turbo. The more sensible option is do it properly,keep yr dignity,dont look like a bloody idiot pretending you have a turbo when you dont.
