Default New Guy boosting.^^^^PSI

I have a 99 LS1 camaro and a STS Kit on the Way!

Aswell, I'm procharging my brothers WS6 T/A LT1.

I've boosted Miatas and honda's. But since gas prices came down. It was time to hear the deep penetrating rumble power.So I'm sure I'll ask a few dumb questions, and will be hanging around quiet often.

First banning question.

Is the bypass valve for a supercharger basically a wastegate, or a blow off valve?

I'm a turbo guy, not Supercharger. And the bypass valve is not included with what we purchased.

I'm going to fab up a I/C and tubing.

I'll know more when I get some instruction tommorrow. LOL

I'll probably find the question out after much filtering of threads from the search. LOL.... But If someone didn't give you a reason to bash knewbs. Think how much fun you would MISS!

YEa here comes the flack. LOL.....
