It should open.. Even just reving the engine under the hood you should feel a rush of air when it opens. Could be your vacum source?

You can change the insert of those btw for different sounds.. I had one in my old car. freaking cool.

at 5.5 psi its barely enough pressure to vent out. crank the boost and youll here it.

Just make sure you're hooked up to a good vac source. I have the HKS kit hooked up to the stock pipe above the turbo and the BOV vac to the intake manifold. At 6-7 lbs it should vent and sound fine. But like they said, the more boost you run and the longer the boost is maintained, the louder sound you get. And get the second insert like Hypertec said, it's sweet. I rotate every summer.
