dont see why its funny either really 
 
big power supercharged cars have pressure release valves which is similar to a DV, need to get rid of boost when changing gear somehow

Called a waste gate i think? 
 
Got one on my g60 corrado. 
 
Sounds same as a dump valve as it does the same job i belive. Can only hear it from inside the car over 3k revs.  
 
Sounds pikey, like sumthing a chav would have on their car. At least i can blow most chav cars away. Apart from snowys car..... still havent driven with him yet!
