Sure, the stock BOV on my '01 WRX was quiet. Rather than blowing air off to atmosphere it would recirculate it around to the inlet before the turbo. If I recall currectly this helped to keep the turbo spinning too.

The idea of a BOV is relieve pressure when you lift off the throttle so that the turbo keeps spinning rather than stalling as pressure builds for a second. It also keeps things from going over pressure when you lift - which might cause an intercooler or piping to break. I doubt you'd have pressure going back out the air filter, as to do that you'd have to get the turbo spinning backwards or something...

The file is 8.4MB.
I noticed the windows media player does not display the progress while it is downloading. After awhile it did play for me.
Also the footage is in wide screen format...

I would suggest to give it a try again.

If not I'll have to think of something else...

Its kinda jacked up, you have to save link as, then open in windows media player

Thanks for the tip!

Here's a pic of the Boxster being aligned.. It was way off line as I removed the suspension to install the lowering springs..
Still not perfectly aligned. Have to go back next saturday for fine tuning.
