Default Have power but cant hear the turbo spool

I can feel the power but yet I cant hear the turbo spool like it use to. I am running an mbc around 12psi. I have a K&N cone filter and I thought that by eliminating the airbox I should be able to hear the turbo blow off more

Are you saying that you can't hear it spool or that you can't hear the blow off? These cars have a recirculating blow off. So the air isn't vented back into the atmosphere like an external blow off valve, it's vented back into the system, so you really shouldn't be able to hear much.

BOV's do nothing however i've heard from 1 guy that he noticed some type of change

i've already made my decision and am picking up the forge BOV kit with blanking plate to blank out the CBV
