[Supras] blowoff valve recommendation

[b2nice84 at aol.com]

You are using just the HKS SSQV without the bypass valve and not haveing any bogging?
To do that did you?adjust the SSQV to hold in more surge air?
If so, then doesn't that defeat the purpuse of letting out as much surge air out as posible to reduce spin back?

I was worried about?the surge air,?that is why I used the stock bypass valve so I would not need to adjust the SSQV.
Or is there a trick that I don't know about?? If so please tell me so I can clean things up in the engin bay?and just use the SSQV without any bogging.

Option B has worked very well for many, for a long time.

I've also run just the HKS SSQV with no ill effects.

bypass valve could not (over 8 psi) when I am boosting over stock.?

when boosting more then stock I feel it needs a little more air out that the 
stock bypass valve will not allow.? That is why I used Option B.
