Blow off valve/bypass valve location
On a centrifigal S/C where would the blow off valve go? I am pretty sure it goes between the S/C and TB but not a 100% sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

it depends on if you are using it as a blow off or a bypass valve.
to me blow off means it just lets the air to atmosphere. if you let it blow off you will want your set up to be. airfilter>blower>bov>maf>tb. that way the maf wont be reading air and fueling for that air that you are letting out to the atmosphere.
if it is a bypass valve that means you are tying the discharge of the bypass back into the pipeing preblower. in that case you can put the maf before the bypass valve tie in in front of the blower or after the bypass valve. typical set up might be airfilter>maf>bypassvalve return line>blower>bypass valve>tb.
