Is the BOV regulated also or is this purely a mechanical function based on the BOV installed? Thanks again . . and sorry for the slightly off topic questions . . .

Its all relative to the situation you are driving in, like let's say its super cold at night, you will probably make 8psi when you usually will make 6psi on wastegate springs on a hot day.
The point of a BOV is to release excess pressure when you get off the throttle, its also used to release excess boost pressure underload so your motor doesn't blow up(this is used more in OEM applications than aftermarket ones)
