only hear the bov when the throttle plate closes. so let off the gas, bov releases the pressure prom the ic piping

If you're ricey like me, you can anticipate the shifts and let off the accellerator hard during the shifts. It sounds exactly like a 5 speed. Pisses off the TCU, but if you practice you can time it so its still shifting by the time you're back on the gas.

I personally think a S20G would be the perfect turbo for an ATX. The s16g just seems to spool TOO fast, I wish it'd just spool all the way thru 1st, and burn tires thru 2nd and 3rd.
