It's pointless on a SC and with most designs it would not work.

Well... technically you can, but you'll just lose power, which would defeat the whole purpose of the SC. I actually had this discussion with a buddy of mine.

Where would you put it ?

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.

BOV on a front wheel drive boosted car is SRTish. Wasn't dogin' turbo's - personally I think both have strengths and weaknesses.

How in the f**k do you think a BOV is SRTish???? That makes no sense at all, SRT 4 just came out a couple of years ago. People have been using blow off valves since the beginning of turbos.

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.

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.

I was also told that blow-off valves could be put on superchargers. I'd love to have that "PISH". Yeah, I'm a ******* idiot show off.
