RPM lost
sup guys everytime i shift gears let say at 3rpm my rpm goes down to 2rpm then da car goes. do u guys know what da promblem would be. Or when i redline da car it doesn't even chirp when i shift to 1st to 2nd da rpm just just drops down to 4 then da car goes.
uuuhh... isnt that how u drive the car... everytime u shift the rpms drop of course.. and when u sift the car goes forward... strang.. my car doesnt chirp when i go redline... nope.. dont see any problem there..

you dont want it to chirp. chriping is basically the tires spinning faster than the car is going causing a quick loss of traction which will in turn slow you down a bit.

ok ok... just to try and help the guy out guys, and provide him with some positive info and questions, first off...
yourinmyworld- you need to explain the prob more thoroughly, because like xproductions said it's normal obviously for a car to drop RPMS in between shifts... if they aren't quick shifts they are gonna drop farther, do you understand up to this point? please elaborate more... and c'mon guys just try ta help the guy out to an extent...

Rep Power: 0 last time i checked BOVs had nothing to do with wheel spin 
there main and only function is to prevent compressor surge when the throttle plate closes in between shifts the pressure has to go somewhere and if it is not let off by the BOV then it will surge the turbo causing a severe stall in the turbine and it will have to spool again!

on a side note, lower tire pressure makes them easier to chirp

What he probably is trying to convey is that the car lags in acceleration. The RPM needle goes down more than it should;instead of the car accelerating right away, the RPM decreases dramatically before the car even moves.
