Or think that you are 16 years old because it's cool to make a whooosh sound with no performance benefits what so ever.

Not trying to get involved in a pissing match here, but just in case some others read this thread and they are debating getting a BOV I just wanted to clear something up. You can bring your car up to basically whatever RPM you want and not have your BOV go off because it will only vent when you boost and boost is entirely dependent upon load and throttle position. If you are driving the car easy and not boosting with only 20% throttle you won't hear anything when you shift or let off the gas. Its only when you start to give the car gas that you will hear it when you shift or let off the gas, which isn't from stoplight to light unless you drive like a maniac.

Maybe it just had to be heard from a different voice. Thats what I was trying to say in my previous posts.
