Default weak bov sound!!

i probably know why my bov is doing this but i just thought i would ask and get your guys opinion...i have tried 2 bovs....turbonetics raptor and greddy type s...and they both sounds like a bunch of ticks on a clock...sounds really gay...is it becuase i am only runing 3 lbs...and the reason for that is the engine management is in the works..still waiting on parts and an fmu is in its place right now..but is that why i cant get these to blow off...cuz i know the type s should not make that sound...and i dont know bout the turbonetics...

ROFL!!! Well no ****! How loud do you think 3 lbs of escaping air is going to be?! The sound of a BOV releasing 3psi is about the same as a person yawning - not very impressive.

adjust your bov...its probably on hard..adjust the spring to soft....besides on 3 psi your farts are gonna sound louder
