and your going to have a fun time trying to keep the car running venting to atmosphere with a MAF...unless you put the BOV before the MAF. the maf will count all that air and add fuel as it thinks its needed...then you blow it out, but it doesnt know that, so you run rich and stall...more commonly happens on high RPM shifts.
There are plenty of SVO's and other MAF/VAM cars running around without stalling issues with a vent to atmosphere bypass/BOV. Something I am not too concerned about.
I realize the reason I am not building boost, that is also not the issue. My concern is because it is pulling 5in more over idle, will that cause the BOV to open on me? Or perhaps since there is no pressure difference (i.e. no forced air trying to force the BOV to open) it will not open?
Be nice...I'm a pseudo-newb to turbos.
