can you put a blow off valve on a supercharger??

 

[Six_Shooter]

Yes.

would that just be on a centrifugal superchager only since the roots type is mounted to the intake and heads on the top of the motor

 

[zliner89]

Yes

The answer to the second question is no, you can also use a BOV on a roots type blower, but it is usually built into the manifold or charger itself, and there's also very little need most of the time with a roots type for a BOV, other than if the vehcile is a daily driver. Also used with a roots type it serves a different purpose, which is to recirculate (wchich can also be done with a BOV on a turbo or centrifigal SC), and is generally refered to as a bypass valve, since it's not common for it to be open to the atmoshere, in this case.

Ok, Raven got me on the technicality. Most all Roots blowers do have a type of bypass valve, but it doesn't produce the world famoush "PSHHHH" that all the ricebois nut over nowadays.
