Default supercahrger/BOV question.

Where do you mount a blow off valve for the TRD supercharger?

Get a good after market one and it will sound good. I'm still trying to figure out which one will sound best.

How many have you tried man?

I've done a good bit of research on turbos, but since i never thought about the TRD superchargers, i donno a lot about it, it comes with a BOV or bypass valve or something when you buy it?

So that doesn't make the noise when you shift though does it?

Can you post pics of this part installed?

BOV = waste of time, on a s/c tC. Just upgrade to a better BPV.

performance wise youre better off with an upgraded bpv. i used to want the bov sound but you can hear the whine of the s/c which kinda makes up for it.

So far like every other mod for the supercharger has been waste of time. LOL

you guys are as bad as the guy who wants a bov on his na motor. You guys are only getting it for the sound it makes in between the shifts. WOW

The TRD supercharger was designed for a BPV, not a BOV.

The reason why I have a BOV because i got for a good deal. I use to say the samething "People are only getting it for the sound it makes in between the shifts. WOW" but someone was sold me to me for really cheap. I couldn't pass up the deal. any The Vortech supercharger can handle both. BPV and BOV. research it. Vortech design the trd supercharger will most of it. LOL They do have BOV for the vortech supercharger.

People with supercharged tCs use GReddy RS type BOV or HKS BOV
