Benefits/problems are nil for sure, as is the same with running (Maybe...) rich during upshifts or llifting whilst on boost. The very same kit I mentioned comes with bits to recycle it back in and I have run it both ways (just to satify all of the "end of the world" warnings and rumors. No differance in afrs were realized.... My 2 cents and worth only what was paid...

Yeah, I think I overreacted to the Rothmann's allusion, thinking you meant to insinuate that since the racing cars used a BOV that it must be better than a diverter valve.
And you're right that going rich isn't all that terrible, in fact, it's probably a wash, though it will do nasty things to a catalytic converter over time (assuming that one still has a catalytic converter) and it will necessitate more frequent spark plug and oil changes.
