Hey guys,
Thanks again for the replies. I am serious in my question. It's not funny having a Turbo Miata in a Country that takes illegal modification seriously. Last thing I want is for a copper to pull me over cause he heard my BOV venting. Besides, i don't really personally care too much for the sound and if i could soften it without compromising too many things, I would.

If the answer is yes, then I hope you're wardriving on someone's network. Tone down the disrespect...you do not want to **** me off. You've been warned.

Your best bet is ditching the cone filter and trying to rig something up with the factory airbox. Failing that you will have to experiment with adding some sort of baffling either in the intake or to the discharge from the DV.
If you have a length of hose from your DV to the intake tract adding some sort of chamber to it might do the trick. Or increasing its size to decrease the air velocity.

look here ************. I'm tired of ------s like you, coming in here acting like your a bad *** or some ****. I don't really appreciate your clandestine homo-erotic, hand-balling lust for black leatherdaddies. Next time you decide to post, you should think, "if I make this totally queer comment, is this childish comment going to **** off Sir. Hustler Esq, et al. and motivate him to reference my IP (which he just recorded), come to my house, and throw me face-first through a wall while my girlfriend rusty-trombone's him."

why would it be just right if it vents on every shift? shouldnt it vent only on making boost?

actually, i just remembered that i used to have the bov venting everytime i changed gear or liften my foot off the loud pedal, even though there was no positive boost being made yet. But i couldnt take the noise and tightened the spring so that it vented only when the turbo is pushing.
why would it be just right if it vents on every shift? shouldnt it vent only on making boost?

Mine will vent even at 8 inHG of vacuum while accelerating.

His Bryceness is right on the money.
The whole concept of boost vs. vacuum tends to confuse. It's a convenient measurement since most of us have a handy reference point available at all times (the earth's atmosphere) but it's not the whole story.
Air has mass. And therefore it also has inertia. When air is flowing through the pipes at a certain velocity it wishes to continue doing so, and when it's not moving it tends to resist efforts to the contrary.
The turbo is spinning pretty much all the time, even at idle. It may not be spinning fast enough to produce a relative pressure gain, but it's spinning none the less. Say you're cruising along at 3,000 RPM at 10" of vacuum. A certain volume of air is passing through the system, and the compressor is just freewheeling happily along at a certain speed.
You close the throttle plate to shift.
If the BOV does not open, the suddenly the volume of air passing drops to zero, its velocity drops to zero, and now the compressor, which was happily freewheeling along, faces resistance. It begins to create a slight pressure differential, then stalls and drops rapidly in speed.
Now, all of this is such a minor point as to be academic. I grant you that.
But the whole point of adjusting the BOV so that it vents at idle is not so much the venting at idle bit itself- it's an indicator of the fact that when it comes time to vent under boost it will open sooner, vent more quietly, remain open longer, and generally do the job of being a BOV better.
