yes it does, if you have no blow off valve you experience compression surge, which will not alllow you to run any decent amount of boost, and which will damabge your turbo. Therefore it does help your performance.

Upgrading from a stock BOV also increases your performance, because stock BOV's will tend to leak at a certain amount of boost, by replacing it with a stronger one, you can increase your boost, which makes you faster, which is a PERFORMANCE GAIN.

you will not make any more POWER in the form of HP from a BOV..


HOWEVER.. When you shift gears in a car without a bov or bypass valve (take for example my old 1988 300zx turbo) the turbine is first going forewards creating 14 lbs boost... then you close the throttle and put in the clutch...

All this air stopps and rushes back towards the turbine, hits it, and spins it many thousands of rpm in the WRONG DIRECTION!!!

Then when you get back on the gas, your motor has to take the time to push the turbine back in the RIGHT direction before the turbo can produce boost again.....


with a bov, all this air goes into the atmosphere, and the turbo continues to turn in the INTENDED direction, not having to take the time to REVERSE and then go forewards again...

The performance boost in a bov comes with the response of a turbo after the shift, with a bov or bypass valve, you will return to boost in a much shorter time after the shift....


This also goes for times when you let off the throttle and are not shifting......................

Power returns FASTER because the turbine does not have to accelerate to its boosting rpm's again..... (or return from reversed RPM's in the case of NO bov or bypass valve)

I guess my definition of performance gain is different.........


See if I had a stock BOV on my eclipse, it would be able to boost past 12psi......

But with a greddy type S, I can boost 20+...........

so even tho the BOV itself doesnt give me HP, it allows more HP, therefore I would call it a PERFORMANCE GAIN.

i highly doubt that hes tested a stock bypass valve successfully showing that it has a gain on a dyno over an aftermarket..

When he talks about the bov not opening under anything but WOT.. he forgets that u can adjust the springs on bov's (most of them) and get around that.....

He also forgets to mention that the stock mr2 bypass valve is made of plastic materials, and can decide to come apart under higher boost....

I very much doubt that besides the sound that there is any performance difference at all during daily driving at stock boost levels....

How do i know this? I drove MR2 moogies mr2 around plenty before and after putting the recirculating Type H from turbo XS on his car.. both vented and recirc'd... i didnt notice any "loss of power", so even if it was there it might be 1hp.....

I dunno, personally to me metal > plastic stuff..
