      With the supercharger you need a bypass, not a blowoff valve.

      Procharger will work, as will Vortech. With the intercooler you will want plenty of flow to avoid compressor surge when snapping off the throttle as the intercooler means you have a much greater compressed volume to evacuate than non-intercooled.

      I'm running 2 Procharger Pro-Flo's myself, I already had 1 Pro-Flo and didn't feel like shelling out $400+ for either a Procharger Race bypass or a big Vortech BV57. I'm still on the fence though regarding the response time of the butterfly style Pro-Flo's compared to a poppet-style Procharger Race or Vortech valve. My hunch is that the poppet-style valves have a faster response time but I haven't tested it yet.



      The Procharger Pro-Flo's are in the $150 range, but at 15psi and intercooled my recommendation would be to use 2 of them. Once I added an intercooler I was getting some compressor surge with only 1 of them, the 1.5" diameter opening simply couldn't flow enough volume fast enough.

      You might consider watching ebay to pick up a Vortech Mondo at a good deal, they're always on there at reasonable prices and will outflow a single Procharger Pro-Flo.
