    blow off valve... The diverter valve would normally recirculate boost pressure back into the air box (where it is unheard on stock set ups). the valve opens when off throttle to release boost pressure from the system, it closes to create boost when the supercharger is engaged. had a similar set up on my car. except I had a complete custom supercharger inlet that I had made and ran 3" intake pipe from the cone filter to the supercharger. sounded dirty!

    Blow off valve, you seem em on turbo cars all the time bust almost never on supercharged cars. The recirculator serves a similar purpose but in the stock airbox it sends the excess air back into the intake. With this custom air intake it basically is a BOV.
    Completely mad.
    '99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
    '86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
