The way you should have worded it is.... There is no performance benefit of a Blow off valve over a bypass valve.. because they both work to keep the turbine spinning rightwise between shifts and during peroids where the throttle is stabbed constantly, aka in a corner trying to balance the car, drifting, so on..
and I will say it again.. a BLOW OFF Valve does nothing for performance. I see nothing good about running rich between shifts.
