it isn't a blow off valve it is a bypass valve, a blow off valve vents to air a bypass valve recirculates. technically same thing but the where the air goes is different. and i already told you it was the line that connects to the top of it to tap.
i thought anyone who installed a bigger turbo and fmic could figure that out, jeez.
