The sound is awesome. Zzzzzschhhhhhh from over 3,500 rpm

A disadvantage but I have found.
When you drive down a mountain, with over 4,000 rpm
let the BOV constant the air out.
Because the compressor provides a constant charge air
when the throttle is closed and no acceleration is given.

A short movie follows....

BTW:
I have shortened the vacuum hose.
Already 5 centimeter change the previous setting.
The turning the setting is somewhat complicated in installed condition.
It is very difficult to turn the adjusting nut.
Almost no space available. If you have big arms, it is almost impossible.
For that, we have our women
