i heard that greddy type-s BOV works fine? is that true
i have a friend running HKS SSQV on a Vortech Z06 and its working fine as he says!
and if the BOV is not open at idle what will that affect?

No open BPV=bye bye compressor?

tHE Greddy Type RS or S will work fine with a supercharger. You just need to remove the inner spring from the BOV. When you run the type RS or S with just a single spring, it opens up under all vacuum conditions.
This is how I run my Greddy Type RS BOVs on Greddy Twin setup. click on the pic for a slideshow of how to modify the Type RS.

you can always try recirculating it back into the blower so it's not venting to the atmosphere...

How is the bypass valve going to reduce parasitic loss ?
At idle and cruising speeds around town . The bov is open ...if it was closed all the time and the motor saw all the air and psi produced by the blower . The parasitic loss would be minimal ...very minimal and wouldnt be worth mentioning . Parasitic loss doesnt really come into play until boost is reached and more so when high boost levels are reached .
The only reason for having the bypass valve is to reduce blower wear . WHen you let off the gas and the throttle plate closes . The air and psi produced by the blower would back up into the blower and you would wear out the seals sooner .
The power to turn the blower with the bov closed at idle and cruise cant be more than 1 or 2 hp so why even make a statement like that ?

As you always say and I agree with, more pressure building up, it makes it harder for the blower to turn and thus, there's more parasitic loss.
That pressure also wears on seals etc too just like you said
some parasitic loss is always present. It takes some amount of power just to turn the blower and larger belt even at idle with no psi built up - though not much

If someone makes a post and it looks inflammatory to me, it's not my fault for reading it that way -- it's the responsibility of the person making the comment to edit it in such a way that it does not look inflammatory.

LIke I said also ...its very little .................so why even include it in your post ? It leads people to believe it has a role into why you should run a bypass valve . And it has NOTHING AT ALL to do with running a bypass valve . Parasitic loss has nothing to do with why you need to run a by[pass BOV with a supercharger !!!!!!
