Could it be a new, reliable way of venting your bov to the atmosphere?
Seems very innovative to me!

HEres what I posted there
For years I ran a vented 1g using plumbing store parts. Using a modified version of the gus mod to put some control on it, it ran quite well. I also ran pretty well with the RFL, but I couldnt take all the leaks at the Oring joints. After 2-3 years I decided that I would rather just have the car run "right," and setup the MAFt in blow through. I'll never go back :D But for people that are willing to deal with the issues, however slight they may be, go for it. I think recirculating that valve under low boost situations should work well and was a great idea, since thats when I had most of the little issues I Saw, part throttle venting. Good luck with it :thumb:

Ah, I knew that Kevin must have come up with the idea first! Very interesting. Makes me wonder what my 1g bov vented would sound like...:naughty:

I Didnt come up with the check valve idea, but I dont think anyone else has gus-modded a bov for this purpose and gone through all the trouble of setting it up to work vented. It was a learning oppurtunity if nothing else. ;)
