If you look at some of the other boosted cars (SRT-4, EVO, STi) they all I believe are coming from factory with like 15psi or more so its definitely that our cars aren't building up enough boost yet (ill get mine soon!)

at least with the SRT-4s around here in Miami, EVERY single one of them you can hear the BOV easily!

If you want BOV sounds while in neutral get the vortech. My buddy has it and that thing is LOUD. woosh woosh! Cant hear mine for crap. I have to be driving at about 3500rpm. But I like it because noone thinks I have a turbo. They all see my car and thinks its stock. Then they come up and ask what I have and Im like "oh just a single turbo kit". then they are like "no freaking way dude, the car is so quiet. LOL.

UPDATE:

Day 14 (been taking it slow to learn a lot about the Z and have been doing extra things)

Cars back on the ground...I cut some of the platic under the car to be able to put back some of the guards that block dirt back on....got the NGK plugs I ordered from Shariff and put those back in......Im planning to take the car to get the Exhaust modified saturday still so thats what im waiting on..the Idea that the exhaust is dumping near the drive shaft makes me not drive the car....hehe.....

Well I can tell you now that free standing revs in neutral will not get you any blow off unless you are revving to redline. The car is not building enough pressure to make any noise at idle. Try it in first on the road and the result will be much better Glad to hear you got your gauge and fuel stuff sorted. You should be right around 20 hg of vaccum at idle so you should be fine as is. Take some pics if you get a chance
