Boost Recirculation valves?

Worth the upgrade? Do they help performance any? Also do they give that turbo woshing sound?

I DO! So do they really make that noise? My GTT used to do it real loud and I loved it..

Ive also heard that they help the turbos spool faster and possibly hold boost better?

from what i understand they extend turbo life by not allowing boost pressure to harm the turbo when the throttle closes whilst shifting.

don't know if they are applicable on tip cars though

The valve will make the whoosh sound but only when you lift off the throttle, similar to a full automatic.

gmaccormack is an unknown quantity at this point
So do they help the turbo spool up faster?

Boost Recirculation valves would not make the "woosh". They are just a more durable replacement for the factory plastic ones. If you want some that do make that noise than contact your friends in SP Performance as they used to do a kit a few years back utilizing the HKS Blow-off valve.
