Blowoff at idle ?
Last time I had my hood open and had my car running, a friend in the car stepped on the gas a bit and holding it around 3k. I have a vented blow-off and there was quite a lot of air coming through the blowoff valve at steady RPMs and even when giving it more gas.
However my car boosts fine in 12-8-12 boost pattern limiting it with ProfecB.
I just want to know if that is a normal operation, as I'm searching for reasons why I dynoed at only 284hp (not whp)/260tq with my mods at 12psi.
Thanks!

Another Q: Would aftermarket BOV then makes the turbos spool faster or reach the max boost sooner ?
There is something missing in this puzzle that I dont understand.

No it's not Turbo'd
Under Vaccuum you want the excess air to go somewhere.. and not into the intake, under boost you want the pressure, so the BOV, vents excess boost coming from the turbos beeing spun by exhaust and not beeing needed.
Next time have you friend run along side, and hold his hand over the BOV, while you're at WOT and 12 Psi, he won't feel a beath, if he can keep up

just to add.....
the CRV requires a little less vacuum to open than the BOV does they are not the same exact valve
cruiser that is totally normal. You are right at the point where the bov will stay open by reving it like that. Once your car doesnt have a certain amount of vacuum the valve will shut. You can take the valve off of the car and leave the vacuum line on the nipple of the bov. Now suck the air out of the vacuum line until you hear the valve open. Crimp the line with your fingers and now you are able to blow through the valve. now let go of the vacuum line and you cant blow through it again. Get it? it opens only under a certain amount of vacuum. Now the crv takes less of that vacuum to open. Thats just a trick to help understand it better

The stock valves open at 4 inches vacuum , you idle at more than that so untill the car draws less than 4 inches vacuum the valve is open . My mechanic has changed the springs in them so they are closed untill 17 inches vacuum . you go more then 17 inches when you let off the throttle at higher rpm than idle . This change keeps the idle air going to the engine at low rpm when you need it . He has gone to two HKS ss valves this week ,taking the two plastic valves out (non-seq ) .
