huh? How does BOV keep your psi from shooting up? Boost control is the WGs job, not bov. BOV are initiated from vacuum, not boost.

As far as not using one, its not necessary however his computer knows nothing of the boost, since its aftermarket.

Explain what an inverter valve is, i've never heard of one. If you mean By-Pass Valve - then its the same thing as a BOV, except the excess air is re-routed into the intake.

A BOV is good for alot more than "sound effects." It helps increase spool up because the air is now not hitting the compressor wheel, slowing it down, and it helps turbo life, because of the same reason as before, the turbine wheel takes less punishment.

not entirely true. a BPV is a dual purpose valve.

it works on pressure changes. when your car is in vac, the valve is OPEN, which allows air to BYPASS the turbo and enter the intake piping behind the turbo allowing better air volume to flow less restricted into the engine. when you step on the gas and go from vac to boost, the BPV will close due to the change in pressure. it will remain closed allowing you to boost untill you let off the gas and the pressure changes again, at that time to BPV reopens and allows the pressurized air to exit back into the intake before the turbo. this allows the pressure to even out across the turbo, once it does, air continues to flow in through the BPV bypassing the turbo. This is why you CANNOT vent the factory BPV to the atmosphere. because under vac it allows unmetered air to enter the engine causing it to lean out and idle rough, eventually you will lean the car out to a stall. its BY FAR the best system over any aftermarket system, even the SSQV if you have a AFM.
