BPV to BOV results...

To do it cheap, I took a small k&n style breather filter and fitted it with a 3/4 inch plastic hose barb screwed into it. I pulled off the BPV return hose and capped it off. Attaching the retrofitted Breather filter to the other end of the BP hose off the BPV, I flipped the BPV and extended the hose in front of the battery. This would essentially be the equivilant to adding the 25mm opening of the small JR filter to the BPV just adding the extension for an attempt at colder air for idle.
Results sucked! Loss of boost between shifts, longer spool up and a loud pissing sound between shifts. I'm not sure why anyone would do this or see any benefit in doing this unless I have missed something. I immediately returned everything to normal upon return. So, is this the typical result when venting off BPV air to atmosphere or has someone encountered something different?
