Hi, i came across a video on youtube of a guy who has done something to make his factory bov make a sound? Anyone else heard of this / done this? Im interested in doing it :)

Yes it simples. Just unplug it from the airbox :)
I\'ll need to blank off the bit on air box then wouldn\'t I?
Ive got a 50/50 here as its been a while since I had an FD, but I think its the one that ive circled, the other is a charge relief valve. HTH

Yep, ive seen people use spark plugs, batteries anything to just block the hole up matey.
Came across a diagram, the one you circled is the charge relief.
The one at the front is the air bypass valve
Yep the black one at the front is the air-bypass(bov) its the furthest forward one, If you vent it to air then it will give the whooosh but you also gain an annoying off boost whistle.
Ok done it this morning. There is air passing through the vented bit of the valve when on idle/no boost. Is this bad for the car with regard to air leaks / MAF sensors / fueling?
Lol, 50/50 and got the wrong one. No its fine like that, I ran my car like that for years matey.
