Default ATI/Procharger BPV Race Valve: What's the difference between open & closed?

I'm looking to upgrade the BPV (bypass valve) on my C6 Procharger kit and was wondering what the difference was between the open and closed?

Does it install in the stock location or in a different spot?

Also, steel and aluminum flange is also an option. I'm assuming this will depend on the material used in the kit. Depending on where it installs, what portion of the kit do I need to check to see what kind of material it is so I know what flange to order?

I believe the piston on the enclosed racebypass may be smaller (1/2 the size) as the piston on the open version.
