Default question on installing BOV on supercharger

I was hopng someone could answer this question? I done some research and read threads on the BOV and that even though they do nothing to increase HP they do sound good.

QUESTION IS : On hose or (resonator) from throttle body to s/c there is a plastic piece hooked into hose with a small vacuum line hooked to it. there is a 1/2 hose going down into bottom of s/c so when I am putting on BOV can i take that unit off or should i leave it on and just install BOV in between throttle body and s/c I have seen pic of others doing this but cant see how they did hose.. can somebody help me with this

The hose that comes off the BPV back into the SC inlet will need to be plugged. It's easiest to leave the hose connected to the SC inlet and plug the side that was connected to the BPV.

if you just want something that makes a pretty little noice every time you let off the gas why dont you look into a product that maintains the function of a BPV but adds the little bit of flair you want.

for example you could look at something like this http://www.autopartsdealer.com/forge...m_content=rank

i actually have that forge splitter (for almost 3 years now) and i've had it on recirculation only because with the 90/10 setup, it just does non-stop hissing when you decelerate from the gas pedal. its annoying and does not do the BOV noise (not even a swooshing noise or anything).
