No Blow off valve?
Is it safe to run your turbo w/out a BOV?
That sound is starting to **** me off!
Or is there any way to make it quiet?
It's a HKS supersequential BOV

I do not recomend boosting w/o a bov. If you didn't know it prevent compressor surge(back spinning your turbo). Once you throttle plate is shut, compressed air from your turbo has no place to go beside back spinning your turbo(s). I guess you can weigh out you decision. Potention messing up your expensive turbo(s) or dealing with the "pssssh" sound. I could be mistaken, but I do beleive you can adjust the HKS. I am still waiting on my ssqv. I wish I had mine, this way I could better answer your question. GOOD luck.

i dont think you can recirculate the ssqv's. i had one a while back. i dont see how you could. anywho, if you are running low boost (under 10psi) you'll be fine without one. i actually LOOOOOVE that compressor surge sound. it's beast! hahahahahha

With out a BOV you could get louder compressor surge than the noise your BOV makes now depending on which BOV. Best thing to do is not to vent to the atmosphere, vent into a long tube or something, the longer the better, venting through a filter helps also.
