most people have the bov where it will vent out the most air so their bov can be loud

in a way yes... it only causes air from the turbo side of the ic back to depressurize, not the whole charge pipe system

allowing quicker boost recovery between shifts, etc etc. not to mention the air is hotter so its is less dense and the bov sounds better (sorry, the ricer n all of us, you know it )
