Default Supercharger BPV / STi BPV?

Now both of these cars come stock with a BPV. If the STi wants to upgrade to a BOV he can without having to custom make anything.
Now I heard that the Synapse BOV valve can be worked to recirculate or vent to atmosphere and the TC SC cant have a BOV that doesn't recirculate.
Would it be possible to custom weld a pipe from the SC to the throttle body and have a recirculating BOV welded on the throttle body pipe?
I also youtubed a comptech s2000 supercharger and comptech makes it in the same style as trd which is the centrifugal type.
Would it be possible to make it work on a supercharged tC?

Now if I just get a fully atmospheric, doesnt the BPV for our SC have to connect with the SC intake. If I just get a bov, I thought it only connects with the throttle body and vac line.

Wow, that's completely safe?? Lol, just sounds a little odd that one end is going to be blocked off.

makes you run rich between shifts, makes for some nice backfires if you have a full exhaust. Thats about it, you don't need to go recirculating if you don't want to.

Oh okay, i'll dig into that some more. Trying to get a blowoff on a sc to make up for not being able to have a turbo cause of stupid cali emissions.
