roots style blowers can also have release values as well but there not blow off value's there called Boost bypass valves! both my old Eaton Gen III and Gen V have them but there not really setup to release boost over a certain PSI like in chipdouglas or my one friends setup.

Blow off valve on a supercharger? Never heard of that before. How is it supposed to work? Im no car junkie but AFAIK, superchargers spin with a constant ration with the engine speed so closing the throttle would also slow down the supercharger and cutting off the pressure.

Please explain how the supercharger blow off works.

EDIT: Oh neverminds. I just read that you had a centrigual supercharger.

Mine wasn't a screw type or roots type. It was centrifugal. Works on almost same principal as a turbo, if you didn't see it was belt driven you'd think it was a turb. It sits in front of engine and has all same plumbing as a turbo. You really don't need a blow off valve on a supercharger but I was running so much boost I said why not.

Watched a couple of youtube vids of centri superchargers with BOVs but nothing beats the sound of a real turbo BOV, though I like the sound of a supercharger's whine over a turbo spooling up.

Just saying.

Mine was a reverse rotation set up, it had zero whine. My mustang was putting down 570hp and almost 650ftlbs torque. One time a silicone pipe connector came loose and all my super charger air was blowing out, now that was a crazy sound. I thought my intake manifold blew lol!!!

Actually this car is very mechanically sound, I have put $11000 into repairs and upkeep in the last three years, so not selling it

I drive a 2004 Gen2 Rav4 - It's been my only daily driver since 2006. Done a lot of things to it since.

VW Golf GTI from 2006:

7203142582_d36879f3f5_z.jpg


Same car as in the picture, same colour and rims. I only have the rear bumper and side skirts in matching colour of the car. It is an DSG all leather version. I have this for 1.5 year now and i am really liking it. Got a good deal via my dad whom actually owns a small second hand car shop. Before this i had a BMW 525D from 2003. Anyhow i never keep a car that long as the GTI. Most of the time looking to sell it for a profit. It's kind in the blood :p

Greetings,,
