Default help with bov...

okay, i am running a turbo xs rfl at 7 psi, and it really isnt that loud...it sounds just like a greddy type s, but softer. so i am wondering, is the bov even working? is there a leak somewhere? is there a way to adjust it so it lets more air out? or is this about right since i am only running 7 psi. right now, i have to shift at 4500 just to hear a little squeek from it, and i dont think thats good for my turbo.

the xs rfl is pretty loud. It's probably too tight, try softening /loosening it up a bit so that the valve opens more when at idle

i think that 7psi is your reason for the low sound. Are these adjustable or do you have to replace the spring to adusjt them?

Agreed make sure your BOV has adequate vacuum. Try changing up the order of your lines
