BUT, I do understand where you are coming from for keeping the compressor spun up during high RPM and shifting. Also, this turbo is smaller so it might not lag as much as a lager one? Thanks!
The BOV is only supposed to release boost when you lift off the gas pedal and go into vacuum it is not meant to regulate boost, that is what the wastegate is for. If your BOV is venting while in boost then you just have a boost leak.
