Fw: Pop Off Valve

[ECMnut at aol.com]

I had a turbo from a 2 liter japanese gasoline truck engine that did 
have an electronically operated valve at the compressor outlet, 
that, when open, vented the air back to the compressor inlet. 
 It was a mitsu turbo, so i was curious if they did that with the 
DSM car stuff.  It does not sound like they did.
Thanks,
Mike V
