I would say the Overboost valve is reacting quicker as there is a sudden spike in pressure when the throttle closes. The BOV will open as soon as the manifold returns to vacuum and allows the BOV piston to open 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make some calls and work out whether its safe to run it like that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
