The second I heard the Prodrive P2's BOV I fell in love with it, Its the greatest sound Ive ever heard a car make.
Ive been searching around on google for recordings of different BOVs to find one that sounds similar, anyone have any leads?
I know its kind of lame, but its just such a great friggen sound

The P2 doesn't have a BOV, it doesn't have any valve at all. The sound you hear is flutter/compressor surge/backspin/whatever. It's pure sex. Remove your BPV, plug the hoses, and enjoy. Those aussies do it all the time for thousands of kms.

sheesh. it's almost crazy. surge can do a compressor in rapidly.

I'm quite serious, and I dont feel like debating it as I did with Nick, so search if you really care.
Actually, the P2 may have a valve, but if it does it's a shitty one as it allows compressor surge.

It may have a valve, but I'm sure at least some of the sound is from the anti-lag........

run a turbo with an anti-surge housing like the new larger garretts and you can get away without running a BOV. I've got to imagine this is what all the WRC cars do. If you're running a MAF though you really can't as the pulse created messes up the AFM readings.
