Default Blow off valves makin sound, without load?

Hi,

The other day i was standing next to another turbo'd honda at a trafficlight... he wanted to race me so he revved up a bit... and let go of the gas....
I heard his blow off valve making the 'whoosh' sound... and i was like... wtf... my bov only makes sound under load...

How the ---- did he do this?

I wanna be a pimpin-trafficlight-ricer too!

no; dont be a ricer



tiny turbo's make noise while revving. my old toy greddy 15g would make its type-s go off whilst revving. my ssqv on my huge turbo won't ever go off well it does but barely; not like that type-s

so actually what you're saying is..

He has a small turbo, wich doesn't need much exhaust power, to spool up, and give boost... wich makes your bitchass bov work?

Yes, mine won't blow off at a stand still revving.
