Yes, the 11-12 trucks have a differnt setup. The 13s are the only trucks setup like this. The 11-12 trucks have two BOVs. One on each turbo. You can do the same thing, you'll just need two caps.

i cover the piece where the hose was going right? not the hose itself?
When i do this it quiets it right back down, if i leave both sides open it is way louder and better.
what do i do to keep it loud ?

I've had a few PMs asking how I vented the BOV to atmosphere on my 2013. It's quite a bit different than the previous years. With the '13s having an electronic BOV instead of the in housing BOV. So I thought this might help a few of you that are wanting to do this. Pretty simple process actually. Figured I would do this before I get my Full Race Intercooler in with the Tial Q BOV.
Step1
Locate the vent tube connection (Gray in color) on the bottom of the driver's side turbo intake tube. Right behind the driver's side radiator fan. It's a twist off type connection. Twist it to the left, and pull. It will come right off.
Step 2
Lay on the ground on the driver's side, and pull the rubber protective flap down by pulling (4) of the white twist tabs. These are half turn tabs, so only turn them half of a round on pull down.
Step 3
Locate the vent tube connection (Gray in color) on the BOV (Blow Off Valve). This is the same connection that was up on the intake tube in step 1. Twist to the left and pull.
OPTIONAL:
If you want to run some type of fiter on the BOV itself, attatch it here. It will take a 1 1/16" size hose fitting to fit on the BOV. I didn't run a filter on mine.
Step 4
Cap off the intake inlet where the bypass was going to. Using a 1 1/16" hose cap of your choosing, and throw a tye rap or the like on the cap for good measure. There is no positive pressure (Boost) going to happen here. So it's just to keep dirt for entering into the intake, and to keep the computer from sensing unmetered air.
That's it, you now have an open BOV you can hear under the hood!
If there's anything I missed or over looked please let me know!
Happy Boosting!

better looking than geno
The cheep plastic caps like that wont last, especially on the 11/12 right on the hot *** turbo. Silicon caps are suggested.

so you guys are venting already metered (accounted for by ecu) air to atmosphere when it is supposed to be going back into the intake?
Am I the only one seeing a problem with this?
