Both discharge and cruising are loud. Keep in mind the bigger the blower and the faster its spun, will produce more evac in these two scenarios, its not necessarily the type of BOV your using.
If you want it to be less noisy, then you have to recirc one or both valves, its up to you.

Not venting hot air into the intake charge.
The main reason people do it is because the stock BPV doesn't vent enough air thus creating compressor surge. So people upgrade to bigger ones, or add additional ones.

Looks like it's on the inlet side of the after cooler. So it's before....

Yeah the BOV is on the inlet of the aftercooler, but regardless the charge air is always going to be warmer than ambient air temps. You may save a few degrees on your IAT's by venting to atmosphere. It won't be extreme.

Was it hard to fit the stock bpv on the air pump port?

I'm running it this way with no issues as per your recommendation
16psi of boost on a novi 1220 and no surge at all.

What size pulley are you using to get 16psi. SOS's 1220 chart seems a little off to me so I'm curious

I'm using a 3.2 on my 1220. My tuner said it hit 18 PSI on the dyno, but it was a pretty cold day and literally at sea level. On a more regular temp day and at about 700 feet above sea level its more at 16 PSI.
