Default worse boost with BOV

Hey folks,

This may be in my head but....

I have recently "turned up" my Turbosmart BOV. Its one of those where u can make the sound "Softer or Harder". so i turned it full up.

Since i have noticed acceleration seems more "jerky" and feel that i have lost power... Is this possible? or should I just shut up????

Thanks as always

I have read in other threads about people loosing boost after they fit a BOV. Try a search.

On the other hand myself, i am getting slightly higher boost since fitting my forge BOV!

OK this is just plain wierd...

Put the BOV all the way to the "softer" and acceleration is a lot more jerky.
Put the BOV to "harder" and it seems a lot smoother...

So im taking it i have been miss informed that, softer=quieter, harder=noisier... and really its do do with the amount the BOV blows out?
