OK, now that the list is sorted...

I finally have a turbo car, but it's not a Miata (though that could 
change...that's a different thread)

As both my girlfriend and her suitcase will fit in the Miata, but her 
suitcase won't fit in the trunk... a road-trip compatible vehicle was 
required. Hence, I picked up my boss' old Audi. He got an S8, I got his 
A6 2.7T. (Stick! Any other Audi guys out there want to make it worth 
Tom's while to do a run of Voodoo knobs?)

One thing I noticed was that instead of BOVs, it has 'diverter valves' 
which dump boost back to the low-pressure side of the turbos. There's a 
vacuum signal that operates these, which I haven't totally worked out yet.

Corky's book spends almost a full sentence on the subject, so I'm 
looking for comments on the relative merits of bypass/diverter valves 
vs. blow-off valves.
