Ive been reading all night about blow off valves and bypass valves. All i seem to read about is bad things (besides the sounds it makes) about blow off valves. Things like you run rich, lose power and crap like that. I wanted to know if this is the same way for 3SGTE ( i would assume so) Also does running rich every time you shift gear waste a noticeable amount of gas?
Also say i don't get a BOV. The BPV is designed to recirc the air back to the intake box. If i get an Apex'i intake filter to replace my box, Is there any way i can recirc the air back to the intake system? (btw I'm just getting the filter. The rubber intake piping will stay. I noticed the BPV is bolted onto the box so i see no way of getting it recirc'd to the intake system unless the piping was metal and a flange was welded onto it for the BPV to bolt onto.

^^^ yes because thats pressure, not airflow.
when the throttle plate is closed, its reading vacuum, when its open its either reading 0 or boost. I have a boost gauge on my car still that is currently running NA. at idle is 18-20 inHg and at WOT its reading 0 -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
