that detail how to install a boost bypass valve into a Type 44.  Can anyone
point me in the right direction?  Any vendor sell a "kit" for this?

the stock dual pass one?  Worth the bother to install?

Josh,

I just purchased and installed a sport intercooler with bypass/recirculation
kit from Force 5 (http://www.force5auto.com/ <http://www.force5auto.com/> )
for $475, and I am very pleased.   Comes with a larger single-pass
intercooler, new tubing, silicon hoses, clamps and Bosch 710 (the improved
Sport valve) bypass valve.  The bypass valve is plumbed in on one side
between the interccoler<->intake manifold and from the air intake between
the boot and turbo.  Plumb into one of the IM vacuum hoses at the REAR of
the IM.

No affiliation, just a happy customer!

HTH,
Jim
