Shut-off Valve / Bypass Valve mafunction will throw code?
My bypass valve sticks pretty badly. At least, that't what I believe is happening.
When I depress the accelerator, I have at least two full seconds before I get any boost. So my S/C is behaving like a big turbo.
If I hook it up to a code reader will it throw a code for that ?

Generally no....
If the bellows that connects to the vacum line fails..maybe, but due to a vac leak, not due to a sticky bypass valve.
You can try to ziptie the bypass valve closed, and see if you lag goes away...you loose some mpg, but easy test.
