You guys should know it's not a like a turbo BOV, which has to seal and open at certain times in order to protect the compressor ~ since the blower's compressor speed doesn't drop as fast as a turbo (tied to RPM's) you never get the surge like you would on a turbo.

That bypass valve lazily opens using cruise to vent the extra air the blower is moving but the engine isn't using, then closes pretty quickly once you step on the gas. I didn't have any problem with either unit, and liked how light the plastic one is. I certainly don't think there's any reason to think you'd have to upgrade, just wanted to note that the black aluminum one looks nice haha.
