Can you hook up a blow off valve to a non turbo eclipse?

I want to hook up the blow off valve without the turbo just for the sound.

A turbo puts pressure in the intake system, and you need the blow off valve to release excess pressure. A non turbo engine doesn't have any pressure, because all the air comes in from the front of the car, making a blow off valve useless. No it will not work.

You need pressure for a blow off valve to work. With a normally aspirated engine, there is no pressure in the intake system to blow off.

That is so stupid. if you want the "sound" get a turbo to fake a turbo is sad.
