Yep, bypass valve. Take it from me, DO NOT get a vent-to-air blowoff valve. I had a TurboXS RFL valve on my WRX when I bought it and it make the car run like crap. Between shifts the car would be injecting fuel for air that was vented, so it would run rich. Switching back to the stock valve made it drive better and get better mileage.

Couldn't you just recirc the BOV then?
