[s-cars] Bypass Valves

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Taka, et al:
K24's flow more air, hence they break/split the valves
faster.  I pride myself on being able to blow a 710N
in under 4 days.  :-)  To my friends with K03's, that
earns respect in a hurry, especially those who insist
on saying "You got mad BOOST, yo!"  I try not to talk
to those friends too much.  :-)
