Where it diverts the air to has nothing to do with it still being a blow-off valve. Common names also used are bypass valves and diverter valves... they all serve the same function.

I have countless videos of "normal" drivers in their 350z's at Commerce running non-stop 14's or at best, high high 13's. There's no way in hell that a 350z with an intake and exhaust will reach high 12's or even low 13's...

BTW, this thread officially sucks now. =]
Actually no, a blow off valve does not recirculate, despite what the majority of the ricer public thinks. BOV = Vented, CBV = recirculated
Yes they have the same basic function, to release charge pressure in order to keep from destroying the compressor wheel, but the difference where the charge air is directed. But I'm not going to get into a terminology debate with you.


As far as my earlier comment about running "low 13's maybe high 12's" hehe, I misread his mods list. I skimmed over it and read popcharger as procharger (supercharger company). Hence the reason for my comparison about the SC g35. With that being said, I doubt the possiblity of you beating an evo, maybe hanging with him, unless you let off right after you got the jump on him.
