Not sure of what your asking but where would you put the washers? I've never heard of it making it louder by putting more washers...

The washers need to be added if you run more boost. If it's working how it is and not leaking, you probably don't need to add any more washers. If you do, it won't "blow-off".

The more psi you are pushing, the louder the bov will be, that is the basic, if you want it to be super loud, turn up your boost to 659506606psi. If not, there isn't really much you can do.

where is the placement of your BOV? Is it close to your intake manifold or is closer down to the intercooler/turbo?

The further away from the IM the louder it will also be.

i bought an imitation turbo xs rfl on ebay and it came lubed up on the inside where the release piston slides up and down with some thick sticky grease that would let it move freely and my BOV would flutter when the car reached normal operating temperature. I cleaned the thick grease off the piston and BOV cylinder and lubed it with chain lube spray, kinda like wd40 only a lil thicker. Now no fluttering check if yours has that thick grease, it'll make it harder on the BOV to open and will make it flutter or quieter. Or if you want it realy loud, install a small dc powered megaphone infront of the BOV and have it wired to the ignition so it amplifies the BOV sound.
