I guess in theory you could run some kinda aftermarket BOV and have it vent back into the intake like the stocker, but then you wouldn't get the waaa-pshh noise.
the GReddy Type-S BOV has an adapter kit for bypass valve engines...... which is kinda useless because then it just becomes a gigantic bypass valve and wont make the same pshhhhooooo sound. there are "hybrid" bpv/bov that will vent 50% of the air to the atmosphere and reroute the other 50%...... but those damned things cost $300 O_O
