Bypass valves CBV are open under engine vacuum, and close firmly when positive (boost) pressure is present in the inlet manifold (or plenum chamber). In the CBV case, pressurised air is returned to the compressor inlet for reuse.
Blow-off valve BOV is an adjustable spring design to keep the valve closed under idle, cruise and boost conditions (eg 0.5 bar). Sudden throttle lift-off (eg 0.8bar) opens this style of valve to vent the pressurised air directly to atmosphere (wooshtssh).

I remember reading that the Vortech was going to have a BOV vs. bypass valve because they run at higher boost. I love that wooshtssh sound!

well, we can add randy to the list for upgraded CT with the run. we still need to figure out why my CT is a NOVI-2000 and everyone else seems to have the smaller NOVI-1000. i imagine mine is capable of more overall since the paxton site says the 2000 is for v-6/v-8 applications and the 1000 is for 4's, not sure if it supplies same amount of boost with same pulleys. we may need someone else with a stock CT/1000 unit. anyplace around where we can run 6 wide???
other problem is mike got gas.... need to make sure his bottle is empty before we run or he will cheat.
