I envy you

I love the SSQV sound But, you are probably going to need to recirculate it.

The BOV dumps some of the charge back into the intake tube. This allows the turbo to keep spinning between shifts and reduces lag.

No...

Recirculating it keeps the air/fuel mixture right.

Our cars have a Mass Air Flow Sensor or MAF.

The car knows how much air is coming into the engine and it adjusts the mixture of fuel accordingly. When you blow off into the atmosphere, all of a sudden there is a LOT of fuel and no air. So you will end up running extremely rich, sometimes bad enough to shut your car off.

Recirculating keeps the air/fuel mixture right by dumping the excess boost back into your intake stream.
