Default Mini Cooper S Turbo 2008 - external blow off ????

howzit and greetings from Africa . .

i have a 2008 Mini Cooper S Turbo - i love in south africa in capetown . . . man this little mini flies .. 5 second 0-100 and tops out at 243 km/h . . love this car so so much . .

my question is . . .

Can you modify the std internal blow off valve to blow off externally - my car is still under BMW warranty and motor plan - so i was wondering like on the old audi 1.8 Turbo's . . if you could pull a pipe off block the hole and have that lovely PSHHHHHH sound ? ? ?

wicked . . . any advice would be apreciated
