  16. Advantages: Gives your car the dump valve sound without increasing insurance premiums Disadvantages: Does nothing to increase your cars speed and the sound is always the same Recommend to potential buyers: yes Full review There are car enthusiasts who know everything about cars, then there are the rest of us!! For the purists out there you will never be able to compare or compete with a great turbo conversion and dump valve kit regardless of the cost. Well for the enthusiasts who perhaps lack a bit more technical knowledge, or budget we still want our car to turn heads. The SABER-EDV is a dump valve simulator. This product creates the Whoosh sound associated with turboed cars which have a dump valve fitted. It doesn't increase your cars speed, nor insurance premiums, it merely gives your car the sound of a dump valve to help create the illusion that your car uses a turbo. Obviously if you pop your bonnet you will soon realise your little 1.2 nova will not be packing a turbo, but for the un-initiated - will they even know what a turbo looks like. I purchased this item originally for a laugh. I thought it was another car market gimmick and for about £150 it was cheap fun. I expected to find a product which needed extensive wiring or mechanical work to install but in actual fact you are given 3 components which run off your cars battery. You have a micro-switch which initiates the dump valve sound, a high output speaker system and a control box which holds all the technical bits to make the system work. I was able to install the system in about an hour, it was fairly straight forward and I didn't need any special tools to finish the job. So there I was 2 hours later driving around in my car to gauge response. Surprisingly I found the sound to be rather akin to that of a dump valve however Its one downfall is that the sound is always the same. Another minor fault I found with the system is that you cannot continuously create the sound. There needs to be a nice gap between your acceleration cycles. No doubt that I managed to turn a few heads, although I was driving around about 18.00 hours and most of the folks were more annoyed with the noise generated LOL. I have kept the product installed and continue to use it. It can be fun trying to fool people into thinking your car is running with some awesome kit. The benefits of this product are clear in that they give you the dump valve sound without paying for a turbo conversion. The product will not increase your insurance premium as it does nothing to enhance the performance of your car. The sound is just there for effect, but is quite nice in its own right. Ideal for the young lads who don't have the budgets for big engines, but who are still getting into the modified car scene. I would recommend this product to anyone wishing to have some fun with their motor. Don't take it too seriously as it is a gimmick product of sorts, although a gimmick which works well. For your real car enthusiasts, stick with real turbo's and dump valves. You can tell the difference and if you have the budget you will appreciate the performance related to it. The saber-edv can be found all over the web. A quick hunt using any search engine will give you hundreds of results. There is an official site too www.saber-edv.com, but perhaps if you want to pay less and don't mind a second hand saber-edv then ebay could be the place you look.
