Where to buy a supercharger BOV?

Where can I get one? Can I use any brand? Is it a universal deal? I am still learning a bunch.

Technically for a blower it is called a "bypass valve" Mike. Didn't your kit come with one??? I know Mark mentioned one in the other thread, but 9 PSI powerdynes came with them. Yes you can use any brand but typically they interface with the company's intake tubing. What that the part does is release the boost pressure on decelleration. Without one, if you let off the throttle at full boost without a bypass valve, the blower impeller can come apart and shards of metal can go thru the motor. So you could end up with a blown blower and a blown engine.

You can get one from Anderson Ford (expensive) or find a Powerdyne dealer. You will need to connect it to the tubing on your blower ductwork as well as a boost/vaccum source. You sure there isn't one already part of your system?

I didnt get one with the kit I have. I guess I have lots to learn. Just so you know greg, I did get that 6 lb pully, is it necesary to have a bypass valve with that little boost?
