a BOV is used to 'blow-off' extra boost pressure while shifting or with the clutch in...
to me, it just doesn't seem like a smart move for a supercharger that is a)only making 15psi and b)designed to keep boost pressure.
you will definitely be putting more strain on your engine.
a S/C is spooled up by the engine and thus requires a lot of force to keep it in the correct boost psi. a turbo is spooled up by the exhaust gases and therefore the engine is working the same amount whether the turbo spools or not, this is why the BOV is used for turbo applications to keep from overboosting the engine.
If you really want a BOV spend $10,000+ and let Eurocharged turbo your SRT-6.
