2.3 and a blow off valve ????

[9ine Deuce]

I know that a supercharger can have a BOV but can the Milly have one ??? does anyone here have one ?

....actually a supercharger should NEVER have a blow off valve. stock or after market. the reason you have 1 in a turbo is because the exhaust gases build up causing the turbines to keep spinning while your trying to slow down, plus, its not good to build up hot exhaust gases, so the valve lets them off. a SC runs off the intake and the only way it would stay charage is if you did a 100-0 stop then went again, the air is sucked though to the engine, by having a bov on any supercharger you decease power anywhere from 20-80% and risk stalling as well as flooding every single time the valve opens.

actually BHR your wrong...there are superchargers out there that do use BOV's but not ours...i forgot the name of the compressors that do but i'll find out in a min and let you know.

your still losing performance. the entire concept behind a bov is to prolong the turbine life and engine life on aftermarket turbo charged cars. but on a diffrent note, I wouldn't mess with the mil's s/c in any way, mazda will yank your warrenty so fast it'll make your tires actually peel out

Vortech S/C have configurations that use BOV's

I would only be interested if someone took off the stock s/c and placed one of these vortech s/c on a millenia
