Thanks for the help, Jason. I have some turbo-related questions in the technical forum that you sure could help me out with. But here's one of them that no one has addressed:
Why have I not seen any turbo applications with the centrifugal-style BYPASS valve in lieu of the BOV and/or Wastgates? Is it because there is something different with how the supercharger produces boost compared to the turbo, that somehow negates the use of a bypass? Or is it simply because I've never seen a turbo/blow-through at all, thus never seen the symptom or it's solution? (Maybe this isn't a problem with EFI'd turbo cars so it's never been needed) It seems like the Bypass valve would work great in a turbo application and could possibly fix the problems I'm having. There must be a reason why I've never seen it used. Have any of you guys had experience with this type of valve in a turbo application like mine? What are the pitfalls? What kind of info can you give me?
