They are the same thing, however bypass valve is just a BOV with a recirculation. See, the turbo sucks so much air in from the MAF, and when you release this pressure into the atmosphere, the engine doedn't end up seeing the same amount of air that your MAF saw. What this means is that when you shift you will be releasing metered air into the atmosphere, and for that time your car will run very rich.
