Re: Powerworks bypass valve vac line mod!!!
Definably take one apart if you have a junker.
Someone could contact the supplier and ask how well the diaphragm will hold up to boost pressures too.

Re: Powerworks bypass valve vac line mod!!!
^^ Here are the pics of my old bypass valve, now disassembled. I'll let you draw your own conclusions if it'll hold up to boost pressure.

Focus...focus...focus!
I don't see any rough surfaces. I don't know for certain, but it looks like it will hold up just fine.

Re: Powerworks bypass valve vac line mod!!!
On a pure hunch, it looks to me like the diaphragm is designed to bump against the plastic under positive pressure, and is seated or nearly seated at zero pressure.... which is nice, because the shaft should only move under vacuum.
Other than the potential oil contamination issue mentioned earlier, I don't think boost will do any harm.
