I just realized, I have a turboxs BOV sitting in my garage. would I be able to use it with my blower? I was told that I should get a blow-through valve I believe it is called? But will this work for now? Anything would be helpful before I start drilling lol thanks!
BOV for supercharger?

The term you are looking for is a bypass or recirculation valve. It is commonly referred to as a bosch style blow off.
You can use the BOV you have, yes. Although its going to make alot more ricerish noise, if memory serves the turboxs valves are very noisy.

From what I hear, they are very loud. Im not worried about it being ricer-ish lol im just worried about it working. Is there a difference between the types of valves, or do they work equally as good? Thanks for all your help too!
There is a difference in their intended purpose but functionality wise you are fine with either one.

i dont know for a fact, but i think you need a vac operated one. reason i say that is because a buddy of mine had an issue with his because his MAF sensor was metering the air and when the valve released the pressure it made it run like crap because the air was already accounted for in the computer, then the pressure released and it ran rich IIRC. his was on a mustang though so might be a bit different, but worth looking into if it were me. he had to get a blow thru MAF sensor and mount between the TB and supercharger in the tube. like i said, i don't know if our MAP's act the same way or not, so maybe someone can chime in and clarify it. either way, i love the sound of one! lol.
edit: actually now that i think about it, i think you will be ok....MAP = speed density system, not air flow system. of course, the easy way to find out is bolt it up and see what happens

MAP sensors don't have any problems with BOVs.i dont know for a fact, but i think you need a vac operated one. reason i say that is because a buddy of mine had an issue with his because his MAF sensor was metering the air and when the valve released the pressure it made it run like crap because the air was already accounted for in the computer, then the pressure released and it ran rich IIRC. his was on a mustang though so might be a bit different, but worth looking into if it were me. he had to get a blow thru MAF sensor and mount between the TB and supercharger in the tube. like i said, i don't know if our MAP's act the same way or not, so maybe someone can chime in and clarify it. either way, i love the sound of one! lol.

MAFs do depending on where things are placed in the system. If you have a blow through MAF and place the BOV before the MAF, you won't have any problems because you're dumping air that hasn't been metered yet. But if you have a draw through MAF you want to use a recirculation valve so that air can be reintroduced before the MAF again. If course all of the MAF talk is irrelevant for our Magnums..
