Eight rave boisterously around city to do this? (4,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

have it large

'do this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'eight rave boisterously around city' is the wordplay.
'boisterously' is an anagram indicator.
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'city' becomes 'la' (Los Angeles).
'eight'+'rave'='eightrave'
'eightrave' anagrammed gives 'haveitrge'.
'haveitrge' placed around 'la' is 'HAVE IT LARGE'.

'to' is the link.
