BOV opening under full throttle?
Has anyone ever heard of this? I just started to have this problem. After about 7lbs of boost I can hear the BOV partially open. Weird eh? Any ideas? Defective BOV?

What kind of BOV do you have Jarid? Maybe the spring is loose and now lets it open before its supposed to. A lot of times you can adjust the spring tension.

Signs that your BOV need to be change.. or at least repair until the next repair.. If it is new, it is not normal.. since you ran a lot with your setup..

Talked to Derrick at Corksport and he suggested to throw another washer into the BOV and see if that fixes it.
