Default Bypass or bov for ZO6 supercharger

Is there a by pass or bov for the 2015 + zo6 supercharger? I seems couple aftermarket brand made it for older corvettes with supercharger but can't find any for the new zo6.

Yes its a valve inside the supercharger, no need to replace it.

What mod? All the valve does is close when you get on the throttle and open when you get off.

Maybe he's thinking "audio mod" like the turbo cars? No idea why you'd want to change it...

PD blowers don't have pressurized charge pipes to mount a BOV on to get cool sounds. So unless you goto a centri or turbo, can't really do anything about it.

I know, I'm just to figure out what the OP is actually after here. I doubt he's concerned that the bypass is undersized, right?

I assume he wants cool whoosing noises.

Even on my S-Trim when I had a larger external bypass, I vented it back into the air tube because it was MAF controlled and you can't just vent air without accounting for it post-MAF, so you couldn't hear it anyway.

When a turbo car opens the bypass and vents audibly, that must be pre-MAF then, right?

My turbo I'm building vents to the atmosphere, but there's no MAF.

Never seen a vette with BOV post maf. Maf is typically 6-10" in front of the TB. I have two Tial BOVs, both on pipe out of the blower. When I had a maf (don't even have one anymore) they wented as air wasn't measured until well after.
