Default procharger (red) valve

I've seen some videos of this red race procharger valve and it sounds sick... What is the difference to install this one instead of the stock small black one... What modifications need to be done? What are the advantages or disadvantages? It will be for a 2002 5.3 silverado daily driver...

It just vents more air out.. It is set up like a blow off valve is for a turbo, or should I say the housing is. It is diff then the pro flo valve.. If you want some sound to it, do not want to spend a ton on the red valve, get a vortec valve for it.. This was on my P1 on 6psi. It is a bit louder now on the D1, more boost..

this is how my valve cam...
it also came with a lil piece of pipe that you will need to weld to a 3" piece of pipe to make the "T" so you can mount it in your system any welder should be able to do this no problem. the red lave is like 400 brand new but if you watch ebay you'll see them for around 300 evey now and then. the red valve is defiantly the loudest valve i have heard hands down.
you can kinda see how its mounted in this pic....

lil video in action ...


and you will probably see a gain in boost from going to the red valve over the stock one, well i did anyway, i dont think the stock one seals all the way.
