Do i need a filter on my bypass valve
i have my bypass valve vent to the atmosphere...does it need a filter?
I figured it doesn’t since it just blows air out and closes under WOT...but hell i might be wrong

If you ever broke a belt the engine would breathe through the open bypass valve. Otherwise its pretty much one way.
