You are mistaken. Mazda call it an "air bypass valve" but it's exactly the same thing.

Jack, the only reason to swap in a FD BOV would be if it was bigger. Compare the connections and see. The FD one takes a little less vacuum to fully open it (9.2inHg vs. the FC's 11.8in Hg), but that shouldn't make any difference.
