thats what sgp told me. im bone stock, no other bolt ons whatsoever. also, mia, maybe you can help on this also. my bov doesnt go off everytime i shift, is that normal, it only makes a sound when i hear the turbo spool, and i let off the throttle or shift. just wondering if its normal, if it is, how do i make it go off at every shift? any adjustments i can make? (maybe i can mess with that screw on the top of bov) or purchase a new one to sound everytime i shift? oh also, when im parked and i rev the engine i dont hear my turbo spool up or the bov go off, is that normal also? i thought it would spool even though its just parked and i rev high enough. sorry about the so many questions, im a noob when it comes to f/i. thanks in advance.

Zman is right. The whole purpose of a blowoff valve is that the turbo spools up and the BOV blows the air out so it doesn't come back into the turbo and the turbo can spool up again faster. So if you're not hitting it enough to have the turbo kick in you're not going to hear anything from the BOV.
That is correct. The BOV only opens when there is actual pressure in the intake tract. If you do not spool the turbo it will not blow off. Unfortunately this is not a BOV specific issue. Any BOV does the same thing. When you are not moving and just revving the motor there is not enough airflow/load to spool the turbo so the BOV wont do anything. I can get mine to blow off in neutral while stopped but I have to rev to redline. Not a good idea.
