Yes, you do sound stupid.
You are wanting a dump valve. Which makes a tsh sound when you let off the throttle.
You need to have a turbo before you can have one of those.

On that engine, not a lot.
Change the exhaust to make it sound better, lower it, different wheels, bit of body styling.
Thats it really. Change to a bigger engine when you can, there not a lot of point tuning a 1.2.

Be better off with pounds sterling over here fella, dollars won't get you very far.
