Did my egr delete and on the write up it shows the bypass venting to atmosphere. I searched but didnt find anything that really told me yes or no. Can I vent my bypass to atmosphere on a roots blower if I plug the hole in the intake? sorry if this is a dumb question! Thanks,
Hunter

IIRC the actuator on the bypass valve is a sealed diaphragm. It doesn't vent. No air passes thru it to the other side.

The factory hookup for the atmosphere side of the boost bypass actuator is to a two-port connector in your intake tube just ahead of the throttle body (on the LH side). The big port is plugged, and the small port is connected to the bypass actuator with a black 1/8 plastic tube. I'd keep that connected like the factory had it. It will not affect operation of your boost dump delete mod and it will keep dust, dirt and moisture out of the bypass actuator. The diaphragm will live longer that way.
