Help on a 95 12 valve
There's elbows available, You can drill and tap your charger and wastegate directly off the charger's new elbow. The elbow will Restrict flow causing the wastegate to open later and slower.
It may restric a little flow, But hardly any. It's really a bad Idea because you have no idea if it will prevent the wastegate from doing its job. Real easy way to toast a Turbo!
The blow off valves came around for these trucks when everyone was running a HX-40 style charger. The 40 due to surge issues and very basic compressor and turbine wheel design had a serious problem with powerfull surges breaking the shaft. BD came up with their BOV for the HX40 trucks that were fueling hard. While the newer chargers are more resistant to surge and shaft problems, Surge is still a problem. In the lower HP ranges it's not really required and with a properly designed setup surge is less intensive.
Unless you've had one shaft break already I wouldnt even look at a BOV
