Interesting article on 'electronic' BOV

Just wanted to share with you all. I stumbled upon this while pondering the internet. It lets you vent your BOV with no porblem....or so it says.

I still don't know that venting to the atmosphere has any advantages other than the astheticly pleasing sound of pshhhh. I think I read sometwhere that recirculating back into the system gives you the most power (unless you are running extremely high boost). Anyway this article looks at another solution. I would be interested to hear other people's opinion.

Oh here is another version of the article....

Looks like this only helps if you have a BOV that leaks under idle. It briefly talks about releasing metered air, and only says: "...the amount of air going out through the BOV on throttle-lifts is very small in the overall scheme of things, and bad running is much more often caused by the BOV being open when it shouldnt be."

Sounds like it might not be much help on our cars where the problem is actually too much air being released. It does say you can control the length the valve is open by a second, which might help, but I bet you'd get compressor surge, just like if you tighten any other BOV enough not to stall.

Yea the whole 'leaking air' confused me as well. There are better ways to remedy stalling problems...though it is an interesting idea.
