'tis true I did not catch that it was an 8V. I am too used to what we get here and the last year of the US 8VT was '84. My '84 did not have a recirc valve (or an intercooler for that matter). On the CIS injection, doesn't it rely on the flow of air across a flap to regulate fuel injected? If so, it would be a similar deal with excess fuel during a dropped throttle event. What sort of boost pressure are you running? The Bosch valve is not too bad as long as you are not running greater than stock 16V boost levels. If you are looking to increase performance, there may be a better start point than a atmospheric dump valve, unless you really just want the noise maker factor.
