While you're at it, replace the piston rings and cams... then you'll get a nice lobe at idle and have better compression...
sorry, i feel a little better now, unless you have a 20B with the auto tranny still attached in your car, you either dont have an auto, or you dont have a turbo. If you dont have a turbo, then you cant have a real blow-off valve. Do you even know the purpose of this part?

The bov won't blow off between shifts on an auto tranny correct? I noticed on my friends volvo turbo that if he put his foot down even between shifts the boost needle stayed at a steady 12 psi without dropping like us MT guys' do. Is this the same on a rotary? If so a bov would suck on an AT.

A BOV works exactly the same regardless of whether you have a manual or auto. It vents any time the manifold vac is high enough (i.e. the throttle is closed). Since you don't close the throttle during upshifts with an auto, it obviously won't open then. It'll open when you lift your foot off the gas.
