RE: Bypass/blow off question

[quattro <quattro@acacianet.com>]

I think if you plumb a blow-off valve back into the inlet to the compressor you have just created a bypass valve.

If I decide to use a blow off valve instead of a bypass valve, they
generally are meant to exhaust to the atmosphere. Do I have to connect it
back to the inlet side of the compressor? The reason I ask is that there
are some people with cis turbos that use blow off valves instead of
bypass. Maybe they're just using blow offs as bypasses.

Bypass is like the one on the 20vt
Blow off is like the HKS variety.
