If I get a supercharger, I would want a really loud blow off valve. I sit possible to add one to the comptech supercharger?

How about an air tank and compressor in the trunk and you dont even need the supercharger AND you can set it off whenever you want.

Would you even need a BOV in such a short low pressure supercharged system?

Could there be a possibility of having a BOV that is electronically controlled. The thought I'm having here is that with a BOV installed, and if it's turned "on", the driver can retard any boost to get stock S2K performance.

I'm thinking that SC'd S2K can benefit from driving a stock performing F20c until boost is needed.

Another thought is also, with the BOV turned on, the SC may pose a restriction to what may otherwise be stock airflow performance. Can a BOV be set to maintain 2-3 lbs of pressure until full boost is needed via a boost switch in the cockpit?

Keep in mind you don't even get 3 psi of boost until you're over 6000 RPM WOT.

I saw something about a *fake BOV sounds* in Supersteet or SCC mag couple months ago. If i remembered correctly, the product came with some wires and a small speaker which you'll put under your hood. The wires suppose to be wired to you RPM sensor(or somewhere there). It'll response to your rpm range to determine when/how loud the BOV sounds will be produce. It's not cheap though, I think it's around $700.
BLADES2K: i think you should try that, if you're in to just the sounds alone.
