The Bypass valve (BPV) performs the same function as the BOV above. The only difference is the air is recirculated back into the intake tract in front of the turbo, not released to the atmosphere. The BPV recirculates excess air when the throttle is closed during shifts or deceleration, creating a muffled “woosh” sound.
