welcome, but SEARCH or you will get flamed to death on this site. our supercharger setup doesn't allow a BOV to be installed, since the boost is built after the throttle body. it has an OEM bypass valve to control boost in relation to demand/throttle input, which is more than adequate and you needn't modify it.

By the way, don't mention BOV's on this site...lol ok. There's a ton of threads on here about it. You can't put a BOV on a roots type supercharger. Just a heads up.
Some people on here may have some rude comments when they read your post just ignore them...I'm sure you didn't know Take it easy!

the only situation i know of where there is a BOV involving a roots type supercharger is on the Ford Probe GT kit because the S/C is mounted behind the driver's headlight, but the engine is biased towards the passenger side (picture if you took your S/C on your LSJ and rotated it 180* so the pulley still lined up with the drive belt and the outlet faced down...it's like that but the belts are on the other side of the Probe engine and the S/C goes to the driver's side). so the outlet of the S/C feeds up to the throttle body, thus the necessity to relieve the pressure off the throttle body via a BOV.
