My Raptor BoV is pretty loud when I'm WoT and under full boost. Not that I really want it to be really loud...

hahaha! mine too...i thought it was my imagination until i heard someone else say it....my cousin said it sounds like i ran over a bird......let me ask a quick question. if you loosen the screw thats on top of that bov, will it mess with the tension on the inside of the bov? i think its time to experiment of this part of the turbo kit...

Not mainly for the sound, but for the fact that its a "dual stage pull type" valve. It releases both light and heavy loads of presure to prevent any compressor surge whiles holds all the boost.

how do we know if we are experiencing compressor surge?
Should adjusting the spring fixing it?

Greddy BOVs do it as well. Just a bit different sound. Under full boost though there should be no flutter. It should be a solid pshhh.
