That's what I've heard too. Probably something like the way the Toyota Celica st185's didn't have any of that sort of equipment either.

Ive heard of compressor surge before its not a good thing at all for turbo's but how in the world is it surviving in that high horsepower car. The sound of it is CRAZY maybe if i had money to blow i wouldnt mind going for just that sound

Keep in mind who put that car together. It's a rolling advertisement for Titan... which means you'll never know how much stuff they've blown up or off. If something breaks, they fix or replace it, they don't piss and moan about their bad luck on the internet. :)

While were on the topic of Titan supras and BOVs, what about the one on Jessica's (the black camera car)

Could be either (although I really don't think it's a SSQV. They have a very distinct sound).

Truth be told, many BOV's will lose their tradional "pshh" and turn into what's basically such a large rush of air exiting the BOV, it all starts to sound the same after so much boost.

I've got a Blitz SuperSound BOV and it has the same sound as Jessica Barton's Supra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckdcYDcKi5I&feature=related
(Ignore the bad video/burnout, just for sake of sound) ;)
