ejmack> havent u ever heard a BOV? :p Once you plug up the air box and let the BOV vent outside, it is significantly louder...sounds like it's working properly and not venting while you're on the throttle, so its nothing to worry about

Thats what i though too. it only lets in air at vacuum it doesnt leak or anything during boost. I also saw a few other post of guys saying the same thing.
