[s-cars] blowoff valve questions

[Chris Covington]

That seems to be the consensus, but wouldn't the MAF just compensate for
the fact that the air is gone?  Doesn't it measure to make sure that the
bypassed air is back in the system before it enrichens the mixture, etc.?
Or does it always use an assumption that X amount of air will be rerouted,
post MAF?
