making it louder

[spectroff]

I wanted to make the supercharger louder on my 230k. I've heard of blow off vavle for turbos is there anyhting like that for superchargers? Will an intake improve the supercharger noise either?

Yes...if done properly.

Is there anything like a BOV for a supercharger?

you can't use a BOV on the eaton setup our cars use. They're controlled by an electro-magnetic clutch and has a mechanical gear-driven bypass valve that vents charge air back into the air box. One way to make it louder would be to remove the airbox and replace it with a cold air intake, then fabricate a cuppling to install a breather filter over the side of the bypass valve that is typically connected to the stock airbox.

search the site and you'll see a few members that have done this, one even posted a youtube style video link of what his sounds like with pictures of the install.
