Default Can't hear Raptor BOV....

So I just got my TN kit installed a few days ago....... LOVE IT btw But I can't hear the Raptor BOV at all.... I tried loosening the bolt/screw on the top but it doesn't seem to help. It probably doesn't help that I have open dumps, but I can't hear it at all really. I mean, all I hear when I'm at mid boost is the fluttering sound (thinkin that's the wastegate, right?) Anyone know if this is normal or how I can get my BOV louder??? Thanks

It won't be that loud, sounds perfectly normal. Having a loud BOV sound will not boost performance in the least. Just leave it alone.

Oh I know it wont help me in performance. The BOV is just one of the cooler things about having a turbo kit I just wanna hear that sound

My raptor BOV is loud. I'm in a different situation with you though, Im actually trying to find a set up with LESS sound. Im also selling a used Greddy BOV a direct bolt on for you TN kit, only selling this BOV cause its too loud for my taste...
