Are these the exact same thing? What's the difference if any?
I have one of those Bosch type bypass valves (adjustable) which is vented to the atmo at the moment. Fitted to a centrifugal blower system.
I love the blow off sound at high revs, but I hate how the thing opens constantly on a closed throttle. So if I change gears at 1500rpm it still goes pshhhh... And worse than that, if you are slowing down under compression the valve is open constantly so you have a constant SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH on deceleration.
Just wondering if a 'blow off valve' is any different, in that it won't do this (why doesn't a turbo)? Or is it just a characteristic of a centrifugal system?
I had considered plumbing the bypass back to intake, then running a blow off for high boost revs, but just realised it's probably going to do the same thing?
