I presume your Forge BOV is recirculating, therefore it sounds like the stock BOV. For a more distinct WHOOOSH, you should consider a VTA-type or Hybrid BOV such as HKS, Work, or Turbosmart. For the ease of venting, you should always use the softest spring setting that can still hold the desired boost level. Otherwise you'll hear an excessive amount of studdering when releasing the throttle.

I disagree with the VTA BOV necessarily...VTA might give you idle issues....
Plus I also have the Forge BOV and it sound VERY BOV like.
However my BOV stutters like FOB said at a sudden release of throttle in boost. You probably have the next generation of the Forge BOV which is supposed to alleviate that problem.
Once you get an intake filter, it will open it up more....and you'll hear the more distinctive sound.
As for the spring, I use the stiffest spring but if you get stutter, you definitely want to use the softest one. I think the softest one is green and stiffest one is red.
Evolution[OH], why are you spending your money on these non-performance mods, especially if you're trying to improve your track time? BOV and IC piping will add minimal to no gains....IMO you should concentrate on bolt-on mods that others have recommended...like the HKS catback that you were thinking of getting.

HA-HA-HA, THAT'S THE FUNNIEST I'VE SEEN IN A WHOLE WEEK.
Ok, now, remeber I told you I suspected a boost leak, well that's why I got Forge BOV, cause I remember you saying these are great boost wise. I'm not looking for ricer whoosh sound, I'm looking for one solid whoosh, because the noise I have right now kind of kills me, it's like a vaccum sound. Instead of being solid it's long and soft, I let you hear it once.
As far as other mods go I'm working on it. HKS exhaust is coming tomorrow. Cone shape filter (4.5 inch Injen is in the car right now, and UICP came with it). So it's not like I'm looking for whoosh, I'm working on bolt ons, but got forge to avoid the leakage, it sounds like stock anyways.
Bost gauge will be installed today, by the way does anyone have any pods for evo that they want to sell. I ordered one last wed. from EvoMoto, paid for 2 days delivery. Wrote them that it hasn't come in yet and they called me today and told me that they saw the receipt from PayPal but the order didn't go through their system. I tell you screw them.
P.S I ordered my injen set up from them, paid for 3 days delivery got it in 5!

Neons I agree, but side stickers - is that TOO risie? To be honest if the are put the right way I like how they look
, I've seen one evo with the stickers on side skirts and it was alright.

Stickers are rice if you don't have those mods. Inspired by JDM styling trends, I simply had one row down the side mirror and these stickers were valid representation of my modifications.
