Does anyone have any suggestions for an inexpensive BOV I can use with my used Vortech kit. I'm only looking for ~6 psi boost. I know you can find the bosch style by-pass valves for cheap (like what comes with the kit), but on summit they say for under 400 hp which doesn't make sense, and can they be used as a blow off valve, seems like it would. My kit came with a Mondo and i just can't figure out anywhere to put the giant. The only place i could see as reasonable is behind the driver headlight, which is where i put my alky pump. Suggestions on that would be appreciated too thanks

I use (2) bypass valves from evoms.com. I have 14psi @ the intake manifold. MAF sensor is located up stream of bypass valve(s) ouput and blower intake.

Installed a Snow stage 2 kit. Located the pump inside the front facia (down-low) Rt side, and, converted the rad overflow stock tank to hold the fluid. Moved the batt to the rear of vehicle. Also, installed a relay to turn on/off Snow controller from the driver seat.

thanks for the replies but i ended up mounting it in to the core support on the driver side just in front of the air dam (under the headlight). I just fired it up for the first time with the s-trim, it sounds sooo good. I'm gonna get it on the dyno in the next couple of week and will post up some numbers. thanks

I use a bosch bypass valve from like a saab or something. you can get them on ebay prety cheap, think i payed $30 used for mine. all you need is a 3/4" fiting and a short piece of hose. works great for my app. but im only runnin 5 psi.

stock motor with a cam and alky injection, it ended up making 7 1/2 psi but has stayed together on the dyno and some WOT blasts on the street
