hello there...
you seem to be confused about one thing...
a BOV or Blow Off Valve, is the same thing as a BPV or BYpass Valve...
it's just different terminology, however they are referring to the same part.
In any case, an atmospheric blow off valve it a bad choice for a saab engine.
It's called "atmospheric" because it dumps the built up pressure form the turbo into the air or atmosphere....
as opposed to diverting it back into the engine to be burned in combustion.
The result of releasing the air into atmosphere instead of the engine, causes the engine to stall... in most conditions...
I know because i tried this first hand on my own saab 9000.
Trust me, and buy a regular Bypass valve, of the NON-atmospheric type.
if you don't believe me, then try it yourself, but don't say i didn't warn you! :)
