Newbie- I bought a Blow off Valve for my SC I got a Vortech Supercharger S-trim for my Camaro. Running the 2.75" pulley which im pretty sure makes like 12-13 lbs of sumhin like that. I bought a blow off valve. questions...the intake tract tube is plastic, so can i get like an exhaust shop to fab up a pipe like that to weld the BOV to. Also, what kinda sound will it make, i dont want that loud Pshshh sound the turbo ricer guys make, i want just a way to help out my sc from surge and wearing out my unit faster. I could care less about the sound, but what kinda sound is it gunna make??
And the nipple on top of the valve what do i put on that??
Thanks for any help

I'm no expert but i beleve it'll make the same sound as a turbo BOV. I mean it's the same thing. It all depends on which one you got, how much boost is gonna go through it, and if you're gonna vent to atmosphere or recirculate.

if your recirculating the air then it will be virtually silent. i have a recirculating bov and for the first week i had it didnt even know if it was going off or not, now i can pick out the sound but its still tricky as hell to hear. if your going for loud vent it to atmosphere. and sadly i dont know crap about that brand of bov.

by vortech BOV do you mean the mondo bypass valve.. now, i dont have a sc but from what i read it to vent it to the atmosphere will help keep the temps down on the head unit. and personally i think it sounds cool http://video.ls1tech.com/Player.aspx...9-DCAC46DEF95E

Tuning is not made easier by the air recirculating back into the head unit. You are thinking when metered air is vented to atmosphere which is a HUGE nono. The computer has no idea weather or not the air is recirculating or venting, it only cares about the air coming through the mass air flow sensor. Thus, the bypass/BOV must be before the MAF, the father away the better, to not cause turbulence around the MAF.
