I know the bypass is supposed to protect the TB when it's closed but during partial throttle I wish it was open a little longer. It would be nice if it closed at -10 boost (vacuum) instead of 0-3 boost. This would still protect the TB when off throttle but provide the boost under partial throttle. Is that bad for the engine?
It's function is not to protect the throttle body.
