Default quick/easy questions about bov

Turbo XS RFL bov @ 9psi on gsr with t3/60-1.

1) shifting when seeing no boost at all i should not hear the bov?

2) shifting at any rpm when boost = 0, there should be no noise from bov?

3) how come bov doesnt go off when revving in neutral?

if you're driving & building pressure, letting off throttle, will release it via bov, more pressure, louder sound.

it can go either way, it all depends.

there are way too many variables for you to compare yours against someone elses, especialy over the internet

BOV's have different spring rates in them, that could be one of the reasons.

i wouldnt worry about it.
