Sloppy language.

The Mitsu I know for sure is a CBV, for some reason Mistu drivers refer to
them as BOVs.  I expect the same it true for the others as well-- Sube's
MAF is right at the filter, not the throttle, so likely it's the same way.

Actually, a properly routed and sized CBV should reduce lage more than one
that vents to atmosphere.  The pressure wave gets shoved through the
compressor in the right direction- helping to keep it spun up.
