There would never be enough compressor surge to trigger the valve. Technically you could put one *on* the engine but it could never actually function.

Okay how many stock American made FWD cars come with a BOV? What is considered the Cobalt SS's main competition? I think I'll be more direct next time so SSCobalt doesn't bust a vein in his forehead.

because SRT4 owners seem to love ****** hittin the BOV to show off

I have yet to see an SRT-4 driver to that, I hear them more on WRX's. Lets not take this thread off course into an SRT-4 rant thread.
Turbo is good on certain cars a superchargers are good on certain cars. Not one of them is better than the other. Blow off valves take the air that was taken by the turbo and lets it out. Superchargers do not need this due to the fact that we dont take in air the same way. Correct me if im wrong thanks.
yeah, your wrong...lol (i believe)
A blowoff valve is for: your TB (throttle body) blade closes when you let go of the gas, creating backpressure against the turbo, centrifugal SC. A blowoff valve releases this pressure buildup at the TB blade.
oh and turbo>SC anyday...
p.s. SRT4's dont come stock with a BOV

You are 100% right in my semi educated opinion.
im loving the turbo>SC thing its real funny but like they are both equally modable yah you can get a bigger turbo and what not but if they are so great why the cobra and GT40 both run superchargers..like who really cares
