I verified that with this page http://www.racetep.com/bypass.html

So in this case the Mazda was running like crap (rich not lean) because some air that was being metered was being released out of the BOV and therefore creating a rich idle.
Anyone else find a Starion page at that link? I don't see anything about a Mazda and nothing on there said they were blowing air out.

Just think about it though. If you are at idle and floor your car, how high does the boost gauge go? Usually to -2 in hg or so. This is under atmosperic, so it can't be pressurized.

I am a little intrigued by the fact that it is in the IC piping though. That is a smaller area and could possibly have a higher pressure, but I still don't see any way that the compressor is putting out more air than the engine is using at idle.
