Boost Bypass Valve is it the same as a BOV?

no, they are not interchangeable and act nothing alike. the BBV is more similar to a recirculating valve and its only purpose is to bleed boost under certain conditions. in no way does it dump boost to the atmosphere or anything of the like.

this is not a turbo car, nor is the supercharger a centrifugal type. you cannot use a BOV.
