to tell you the truith, I wouldnt worry about a BOV on a stock truck or a moderately modded one, besides I can bark my turbo with as little as 12-15psi.

when your building boost and let off the throttle real fast the air in the intake has nowhere to go except back through the turbo. when it slams into the compressor wheel it creates a noise that we call turbo barking. Samething with a gasser turbo except in diesels we're pushing a lot more boost. I think you can find a bov in summit racing catalog, maybe try bullydog also.
