What is wrong with your stock one? That does a perfect job up to about 18psi, as long as it is not cactus.
I have a turbosmart vee-port, does the job and produces the classic 'ptssssh' sound, and is a little less noisy than the bovs with the trumpet on the side, ie less cop attention

my tt is getting turbo blow back through the filter which is bad apparently. sounds exactly the same as a bov. i dont have any aftermarket bov that i can see either

dont worry bout it,
its just coz you are using a pod filter ?? It makes induction/turbo spool/chatter a lil louder.
If you want a BOV and you have stocko piping, just buy one off an online retailer as a kit and slap it on. I bet your pod will still emit the same noise tho !! just may be hidden a lil by the offensive

Only 2 soarers with that noise? Geez I am going to have to record this noise now, I am kind of worried about it. I thought it was just POD filter noise from air going back through the POD when the throttle body closes. That is what I was told anyways.
Anyways, Joel.. A guy I know has just a cheap china BOV on his R32 Skyline and it makes a big WHOOOSH noise which is what I like, unlike the HKS SSQ which is like a high pitched noise this had a bit of volume.

no BOV can completely vent un-used compressed air. You will notice different noises with different setup. NO doubt the single turbo setup will give you louder noise especially if you have a big FMIC. It will give you the fluttering noise regardless of how many BOV you have. I think the stock BOV is a very good item so if it's still working stick with it.

I get a little compressor surge but only on low throttle boost but when I snap shut on high boost I get that whoosh you discribe.It is a combination of the BOV(Turbosmart v-port2 bov),Pod filter(steel mesh pod,Justjap $30 special) and FMIC(Hybrid)

I get enough of that from the dickheads who drive past my house at 3am on Saturday morning.
Tell me about it. We've got a bunch of idiots who ALL own R32 & 33 Skylines living in a rental dump up the road from us, and they insist on doing major burnouts n' stuff at 2am on Thursday & Friday nights.
I mighta fixed the problem though, as I found out the name of the property owner and rang him at 3am the other morning with the message that everytime WE got woken up, HE would get a phone call from ME.
He wasn't well pleased but hopefully he'll sort his idiot tenants out (or change his phone number HeHe!)

aaww nah.. that would be sweet as bro !
** on another note, the skylines with stocko turbos and just a pod sound pretty good whilst inducting / spoolin up i reckon. Used to love that in my old skylines (especially the one with the Apexi Twin Chamber BOV... LOUD)
