Ok, minor comments. it IS possible to put a BOV on a roots style supercharger (what you ss/sc guys have....ive done it for a customer. Personaly, not my cup of tea). But on a centrifugal supercharger such as a procharger, its great, and has so many advantages over a BOV on a turboed car.
The fact that a turbocharged vehicle doesnt provide boost until 3500ish rpm (exhaust driven), and when that throttle body closes, the presure goes up and out. which is BAD for the car simply because the MAF sensor already measured the air, and its not nearly as beneficial as a recirculating bypass valve.
vs
The fact that a procharged vehicle is belt driven, it creates boost instantly and has little to no vacuum. When the throttle body closes, and theres nowhere for the pressure to go, it loses velocity dramaticly, and can in some cases create backpressure on the procharged settup. granted it will bog for a split second when you hit the gas its minor, but the change is measurable. The BOV allows for the air to go up and out, sound cool the whole nine yards. Granted the MAF has already measured the air, it doesnt really matter. Instant boost eleminates that variable.
So is it rice? No.
Do I think some of you people are rice for saying its rice? **** yes.

i would literally smack some1 if they put a BOV on a roots type s/c'ed car
a nice backhand would do.. if they failed to comprehend after that then a swift kick to the ***** bc they dont deserve their manhood
