You may be hearing no BOV at all. I went looking for the rattlesnake BOV as I dubbed it when I first heard the rapid-fire sound but what it was was the turbo backpedaling because the car had no BOV to release the pressure. The BOV I have now is really stiff and on lazy acceleration I get the chop-chop-chop on the shifts because it doesn't open.
