Neither does mine. I never entertained any thought of useing one of those boost relief valves.
I want all the air that my turbo pumps to go to the engine!!
I use the overboost regulator from ITP diesel with zero regrets and full recommendation.

I have had 30# on the gauge and seeing 22# at the MAP with AE.
This was with Shop Air when testing it. The gauge dropped about 1/2# when the valve relieved and then climbed steady to 30#.
Could you have a small leak at the boost connection that only occurs once the boost climbs?

Diablo Predator Tow/Haul tune loaded. After I returned home from that trip my overdrive gear bearing was gone and you could hear a distinct rumbling noise coming from the rear of the transmission. But that is another subject.
With your DP tune and the factory intake wheel, you'll never get rid of the turbo surge without installing one of those AIS boost relief housings. A wicked wheel is not good enough for you this time, it will still stall, just at a slightly higher pressure.

You remember those pictures of fighter planes in a very high G turn with the visible water vapor on the tops of thier wings?
The same thing is happening at your turbo inlet. The compressor vanes are stalling and there is chaiotic pressure waves bouncing around inside the turbo making all kinds of racket.

Kris, I cranked it up slowly all the way from 0. When the valve released at around 23# the gauge dropped about half a pound and then recovered and climbed with the supplied pressure all the way to 30.
Sean not a boot leak but a leak at the BRV+ itself.

It's a housing with some bleed rings around the inlet to combat that stalling.
My truck would stall badly with a stock tune and pulling a trailer up a hill but never empty. The WW cured all that for me, but it is only effective with very mild tunes, which is all I ever run. And it works perfectly for that.
