Tyler,
My C900 is N/A, but my 9-3 is turbo. On the 9-3, the DV re-routes the air from immediately after the IC to immediately before the turbo (but I'm not 100% sure & I don't have the car with me right now to check). On my C900 the AMM is immediately after the air filter, & I thought the 9-3 was set up the same way, with the diverted air inserted after the sensor.
If the diverted air were run thru the AMM a second time, that would screw up the readings even more. The engine would think all that extra boost was going into the cylinders when it was really just getting dizzy in the turbo-go-round.
What Nathan did was simply disconnect the return path for the excess air. This *IS* exactly what a BOV does, regardless of what anyone else says. The breather filter Nathan added was just to ensure no rogue dirt chunks decided to take a stroll into his engine during idle. I don't think that would happen (I couldn't get ANY suction from that port during idle), but I suppose the possibilty is there.
Am I making things clearer, or more confusing?
