Blow off valves are typically installed between the supercharger and the throttle body. When the throttle is open, the air from the supercharger flows through the blow off valve and into the engine. When the throttle is closed, the blow off valve opens and allows the excess air pressure to escape. This prevents the pressure surge from damaging the supercharger and other engine components.
Blow off valves are available in a variety of sizes and types. The size of the blow off valve is determined by the amount of air that the supercharger produces. The type of blow off valve is determined by the type of supercharger. Some blow off valves are also adjustable, allowing the user to fine-tune the amount of air pressure that is released.
Here are some of the benefits of installing a blow off valve on a supercharged car:
* Prevents damage to the supercharger and other engine components
* Improves engine efficiency
* Increases engine power
* Reduces turbo lag
* Produces a distinctive sound
