Blow off valve or not?
I have a bov on mines and I will tell you right now, on a single bov for a supercharger setup, you will get compressor surge. The SC is tied onto the crank and keeps pushing massive amounts of air even when the BOV opens unlike the turbo where pressure drops substantially as soon as it opens. The only way I could rid of the surge was to install a second bov.
Sorry to dig this thread back up but i'm experiencing some issues after I installed my new BOV.
MY car currently has a kraftwerks supercharger on it running about 10psi. Originally I had tuned the car with the stock Bypass valve recirculating the air but just recently installed a HKSSQV BOV on the car and now it has a fluttering noise/ not enough air sucking in noise upon partial throttle when in neutral.
Also while driving in gear if i'm WOT or partial throttle there are no issues but as soon as I am off the throttle the fluttering noise will continue as the rpms decline in gear. My questions is do i need to get this retuned due now that I installed this BOV?
Thanks in advanced!

i agree very old thread lol
the spring on the HKS is probably not suited for the s/c as we need a much softer spring on the s/c kits. remember, the bov will be purging air the entire time when you let off the throttle while remaining in gear. the rotrex is belt driven. You could try checking on your vacuum lines to make sure they are correct. As far as a re-tune, if the car isnt hesitating on partial throttle, i dont think its needed. The retune would be more of a drivabillity fix rather than power.
