Trying to keep the turbo sleeping?
I honestly do not like the dumping sound of the bov. When driving past a cop, a cop will surely target you if he hears your car dump out. With that said, has anybody really masked the sound? I heard a few different bov's and some are a lot quieter then others (and some make an ugly high pitched noise) - Comments?

dont' shift when he's near lol
go recirculated, that's absolutely no sound at all, that's the point of a recirculated blwo off valve, bosche makes one that's hella cheap, like 50 bucks....and it's silent, and it's exactly what comes with stock turbos

I think i might have made a mistake - I was watching some tc videos and I thought that even the recirculated were making noise .... i know someone is going to say "well they shouldnt be making noise because its dumping back into the line" ....but maybe the vids I was watching were labeled wrong.
Yea - I was also looking at the 50/50 splits. They sounded better. Any good/bad feedback with them?

I ended up getting the purple "special fin insert" for mine and it is fairly quiet. It is just a low "woosh" when I let off. It is a lot quieter than the insert that came with the SSQV

Don't boost past the cop. The BOV won't make any noise unless there is excess boost to release.
If you want to hear mine, I'll be at the Willowbrook Mall meet this Saturday...not sure if you were planning on going or not.

yeah I've never had a problem with blowing off in front of cops. not that i make it a point to do it. I don't think I've ever had the opportunity. I usually flutter a little bit, but then they just think my car is broken or something....
