Default Proof that a DV sounds like a blow off valve

Sorry if the video quality is kinda sh!tty but this was more about the sound than anything. When you buy a CAI your diverter sounds like a blow off valve when you let off the gas. View the following for proof. By the way it is much louder in real life and Im assuming it will be louder with a bigger turbo but again thats my assumption. Anyway here you go.

The DV vids

Right I have had a boost leak before and it did sound kinda like a blow off valve (a little different then this) but my car also ran like ****. My diverter only made this sound after installing the CAI and she obviously runs fine.

But if it makes you feel better I'l double check my hoses. If there is a tear then I am oblivious to why I am not having any power or boost losses.
