The bov makes a odd sound if revved up in park like a whistling noise, but if you remove the line going from the bov to the intake manifold and hit the gas some it doesn't do it (in park), is this a sign of a bad BOV? I have a 1g bov with a metal IC pipe type s flanged.
 
Its because of the sound never heard it on a turbo before + the turbo flutter which some people say its bad and some say its not. Which this car had it with the previous turbo that was in it + this one.

If I get a chance I will take a sound clip of it.
 
Well this is with 2 turbos so I don't know what the cause is, maybe the line from BOV to intake manifold is too small? cause it is smaller than the other vacuum lines.

Are you implying your running a compound setup..?
The vacuum line is going to be small for the reason it's a vacuum line and needs to have a vacuum effect, hence the term "vacuum"

The only reason you would hear it louder than normal is if it was somehow recirculated and now it's venting.

I could be wrong but I think he means 2 different turbos
