Bypass Valve on Vortech?

Hi...
I am new to FI and I just got a Vortech kit for my 06 6MT.
I am wondering can I get a louder BOV/BPV sound like the turbo cars have?
Thanks

as said above, too bad there;s no BOV on a Vortech kit. BPV maybe, no BOV.

should at least try to get the terminology correct unless of course you have a whale tail, fart can muffler, and huge body kit. Then you can call it whatever you want

Yes I know there are no BOV on SC.
But some people said they can fit a Greddy BOV on the Vortech by taking out the inner spring.
I just need some more information about it.

This is actually a good question. I've seen people with centrifugal blowers using blow off valves but i've heard some people say that you can't use them on supercharged cars. I haven't read into it enough but does anyone have the simple answer?

I think that the only thing you would need to be concerned about is placement of the bov. You would want it before the MAF meter so your not releasing metered air. The only main difference between bypass and bov is that the bypass valve recirculates the air through the system and might use a softer spring than a bov.

+1 ive been researching this as well becuase im trying to integrate the hks bov into the vortech setup,the last thing i wanna do is mess up my SC, but if i can't do it then the stock w/the kit will be fine
