Our blowoff valves dump the extra pressure back into the intake already.
Some dump it out to the atmosphere, but very few stock configurations are that way.
WRX STI will have 2.5T ???

Wouldn't it create a temporary rich condition? The engine would be ingesting less air than the MAF reads, right?
It's possible to have an atmospheric blowoff valve that doesn't result in this transient bad fuel mixture, though; you just need your ECU to know about it and correct for it. The ECU already accounts for other types of transient behavior (for example, when you first open the throttle quickly, it dumps in a little extra fuel to compensate for what would otherwise be a temporary lean condition with bogging).
Most people buy atmospheric blowoff valves for the noise, but there is also the advantage of simpler plumbing.
