<VV> Turbo's and Powerglides?

[Bill McCurdy]

A blow-off valve is not intended for the stock system. With draw through
the throttle plate is upstream of the compressor, so when it slams shut the
whole thing (compressor included) goes into vacuum. There's no pressure
surge to blow off, the turbo just slows down in a vacuum situation and no
damage occurs.
