BOV and intake pics

Just installed the FOrge motorsport recirc BOV and it is really annoying. Everytime I get on it it makes a loud whistling noise when I let go of the gas. DO all recirc's do this or only this brand? I want to take this thing off I cant stand the noise

Another fuzzy one...... Again this is the Forge Motorsport recirc BOV, it took about 15 Mins to install. Be careful of the fan shroud cuz I split my finger open on it.

Autometer Boost/vacum gauge at night. Hard to see, but colors match nicely

Welcome to the world of turbos. BOVs all make some type of noise. Even the stock one does especially when you get an open element filter.

I installed my Forge valve with the vacuum line pointing upwards, mirroring how the stock part was installed. I don't get a whistle noise, just a "whooshing" sound when it opens.

I was hoping one of you guys could help me. I just received my Forge Motor Sport recirculating BOV and I called them and asked them how to install it. They said they recommend that their BOV be installed mirroring the same way the stock one was installed but, it could be installed with the vacumn line facing (pointing) upwards and the results he said were a louder sound. I couldn't install the BOV with the vacumn line facing sideways because the stock hose is too short and would pinch. So I installed it with the hose facing upwards, and I barely hear any "whooshing" sound but I can hear it quietly dump when I rev really high. The car still drive the same and I don't feel any difference, but I wasn't expecting to see any difference. I wanted to hear a better sound so I've come here for some help. Which way is the prefered way to have the BOV installed?
