    They do lots of things.... But a bov on a supercharger? Are you sure it wasn't twin charged?

    The two forms of boost are completely different.

    You can't put a blow off valve on the supercharged M90 car.

    You want a BOV? Go turbo.

    Was it a centrifugal supercharger? That's way different than a roots style

    I've seen a little device they make that just makes a loud bov noise for people who want to fake having a turbo. Have no idea where to get one though.

    The BBV on these cars are very similar to a BOV you hear on turbo cars. However, there is no purpose to having a BOV when the blower is after the throttle body.
