A BOV is simply a bypass valve that gets vented to the atmosphere. They do the same thing, only one vents to the atmosphere the other back to the intake tract. You can put a blowoff valve on a supercharged car so long as the mass air meter is setup for blow through, that way you don't vent off metered air.
is this correct guys?
I wouldn't waste my time if you want that wank factor then do what i did and get a turbo as well

Result is compressor surge as the pressure keeps increasing as less of it is being consumed by the engine. That causes the turbo to suddenly halt and be forced to spin the other way (Which is compressor surge). That or its gonna put a huge hole in your intercooler![]()
My paragraph construction is pretty damn messy there, but I think you get the idea

if the tbody is after the s/c a bypass valve is required(read plumback bov)
