Try resetting your car's computer to get it learn the new mods. And i think the bov depends on what model.

Hey wouldn't the lack in performance that you notice be from a little more lag since the turbo has to push the air through more tubing and what-not?
The noise you hear is probably the intercooler yourself, look for that thread about the intercooler making noise.

If you didnt up the boost, it IS slower because of pressure drop across the IC.
