You CAN vent it back before the compressor. Get a 3/4" heater hose fitting, drill a hole in the ABS and thread it in tight. done. OR. To answer your question, if you want to vent the BOV to the atmosphere you need a 3/4" check valve (check the lawn sprinkler section) some 3/4 inch HIGH HEAT rubber heater hose and adapt the check valve so that when there is no boost it is closed and when it vents it opens. Hope this helps. I was 17 when I did this mod too

Why not? Just get a 3/4" hose barb and screw it into your TID. Seal it, then connect up the bypass valve.

Hose barb costs $1.
