It would be real easy and convieniet to recirculate my BOV by splicing into the throttle bypass hose which of course runs back into the turbo inlet.

The problem is, I'm worried that if the bypass valve opens when I let off the gas the BOV might empty into the intake manifold and cause me to go lean.

Should I be worried about this or does the bypass valve only open at idle?

If by throttle bypass you mean the line going to the IACV I don't see an issue. The IACV is only going to allow so much air to pass by...I've never really thought of doing it that way...

When the bypass valve opens you usually run very rich anyway, might even helpout as an anti stall.

Try it out.
