CountryBoyShane is spot on; the N14 / N18 turbocharged engines are designed as a closed-loop system, where unused boost is rerouted back into the intake.
Venting to atmosphere will have effects on fuel trim and typically produce a Check Engine Light (CEL).
Good to see another Colorado owner; hope to see you at a local MINI5280.org event.

Yeah I had the Helix then the HKS SSQV4 and eventually got over my need for BOV noises (kind of) and settled with the Forge Diverter Valve. Way too quiet for my taste but it's turning me on to the sleeper route which I suppose is a good thing. I'm still in the ending phases of my denial stage that my MINI is not a turbo rally beast

Actually, there's a good helping if you keep you eyes peeled.
