BOV aka. Blow-Off Valve?

Hi again guys and gals!

As we all know R56 MCS uses turbocharger for extra boost over the MC, does it have a blow-off valve? In the mini uk website, the loading animation shows (and sounds obviously) the rev counter of the MCS. The sounds it make kinda resembles a blow-off valve when the driver leaves the throttle pedal alone. Am i correct?
If not, do any of you plan on getting a HKS ssq blow of valve for your Mk2 MCS?
I am definitely gonna buy one if it doesnt have one already.

It has one. It's right under the turbo, I think it's hiding under a hose. However, you can always get a better BOV!!
