Duno man ...it was wierd that by shifting the gear you can hear the noise by the engine now i was just wondering is that from the turbo or something ? could i install that noise on my xA lol coz i like it

Sounds like the car was a turbo.
To get that sound you could either turbocharge your xA with a nice blowoff valve, or get one of these ricey things: http://www.takakaira.com/accessories...ightpager.html

I like the second option but looks like they have problems with .asp site for pricing but man thanks!

Vortech supercharged cars also use BOV's and have IC's(sometimes)

That BOV sound got annoying after a while though, I used to hate having to hear it at 2am on a clear night. I had the turbo XS RFL on my old turbo Integra, then I sold that and bought an HKS SSQV, and that sounded like a bird chirp; hated it. I then bought a DSM stock BOV that hardly made any noise and loved it.
too bad atmospheric setups are so damn hard on non-turbo cars.

unless you want people to laugh in your face, don't buy a damn blow-off valve simulator. your car will most likely be laughed at everywhere you go by boosted and non-boosted people alike. i'd point and laugh if I saw your NA xA blowing off, and i'm sure most of the people here would too.
if you just want the sound of turbo, skip all the heartache and trouble n/a turbo setups bring and buy a naturally turbo car; an old turbo 2, 300zxtt, supra, wrx, fd3s, conquest, etc. but remember, you'd have it for all the wrong reasons.
