Go with the enclosed race valve. I had mine recirculated back into my Anderson Power Pipe. It is basically silent. You hear a whoosh of air when coming off WOT, but nothing the attracts attention. My fuel pump (Weldon 2025) is what is loud right now and I am replacing it with a couple of inline pumps for street use. For the track, you can't complain about a pump that supplies 1400hp worth of fuel.

^^^ What size hose did you use?
i believe it is 1 1/2"" and all the procharger piping is steel for our cars..... Talked to a tech earlier
"SYMach1" on this board.

With as much air as the red valve moves, are the folks running the closed version concerned about excessive heat generated by recirculation? My open version is certainly loud, but I don't want the air recirculated.
The air isnt hot enough to cause a drop in HP big ehough to notice..
Agree, but the placement of the BOV is also important. You don't need your intercooler heating up, so place it between the exhaust on the head unit and the intercooler.
I placed mine in the stock bypass location about 8 inches from the blower on the first pipe that comes out of it.
Do you happen to have a video? I would love to hear this on a S/C application
Can you confirm that its 1.5" I.D.? I may or may not recirculate my enclosed valve ...not sure. That's a big hose to be doing some bending in there. Do you have any pictures you can post up?
mine's the procharger black bypass but here's how mine is. I found radiator hose from autozone that had a 90 degree bend in it to make mine fit right. it sits in there perfect now.
how loud is it like that?
So much room with a P1/D1/Vortech blower! It's like stuffing a softball into a golfball sized hole with an F1A.

Yeahhh, I am still trying to get it installed. I bought the kit used and I think it is a 2V D1 kit (advertised as a Mach1 kit). :bash: So, I keep having to call up Procharger and get my missing pieces or make them. I will start a build thread to show my progress.
just called procharger the red race is 2"ID
Thanks. :beer:
I put my bypass hose on tonight. It sounds sooo much better.
so before you had the same whistle that i do now? And now what does it sound like?
I had the enclosed valve open... I set it up recirculating and now its much quieter and no annoying whistle.
