so guys Iv had an hks ssqv BOV on my e92 for well over 50k miles, was installed by first owner. My question is do these BOV’s go bad over time? Mine still makes the typical hks noises after full boost but anything under 15psi and/or WOT it sounds like air is just rushing out like it’s not sealing unless I’m wot and hit full boost. Is it just me? Or is she worn out after all this time? Any advice is appreciated guys!

Well, for my car the sound is load/boost dependent. How much boost are you running ? Mine does a little huffing and puffing if I'm rolling on and off but sharper throttle transitions give me more aggressive sounds.
