I just picked up a paxton novi 2200 I/C kit it has the two by pass valves I'd like to get rid of the cheap Bosch valves and upgrade to something like a tail I'd like to have some noise out of the bpv does the tail recuculating valve bolt right up to where my Bosch valves do or will I have to mod the kit. I would also like to vent to atmosphere but have heard it's a lot of trouble converting to blow threw any input will help thanks guys

Get rid of both Bosch units and convert to blow through. Use Either the Procharger big red or Vortech Mondo bypass.

Look into a diablo mafia also. You need to know a welder to weld a maf mount into a straight section of pipe before the throttle body. If you search there are some thread that explain the differences between pull-thru and blow-thru

Converting is relatively simple. First, you have to relocate the MAF sensor so that is exists between the I/C and TB. Second, use any kind of BOV and vent to atmosphere.
At some point, get it tuned to properly handle the different configuration.

Your blower is 'preconfigured' in a draw-through setup, where as air is blown off through the cheapy Bosch, it get re-routed back to the intake in front of the blower, thereby keeping all the air in the closed system. The MAF sensor is before the blower, near the air filter, and any air that passes by it is assumed to be going into the engine, hence the recirculating BPV is needed.

In a blow-through, with the MAF located closer to the throttle body, you can do whatever you want ahead of it, including blowing out air passed through the BPV. Remember, once air gets compressed, it gets hotter. And recirculating that back through the blower is like feeding it hot air. When you blow that off to atmosphere, you keep that already-heated air out of the system, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the intercooler, and lower intake air temps.

Search and read up on blow-through and draw-through setups. Yes, it is worth the effort to do it blow-through, IMO.

Here's my blow through coversion thread. Blow through will allow for a better maf xfer function and more precise fuel trims during normal driving. It's the way to go for a centri. Just make sure your tuner can tune for it first. You would be surprised to know that some of the big name shops can't figure out how to tune for blow through.

You can do either. I prefer a pmas hpx. S&H has a good price on them. The advantage imo is that it's a maf that is properly calibrated for the air signal. A mafia scales the signal down so the ecu can read it in the higher airflows. It requires scaling the injectors, displacement, maf xfer, etc.

A hpx or ba5000 only requires building a new maf xfer which is part of the normal tuning process.

BruceH, like the op I have the same paxton air to air setup with 2 bpv and going blow through. One underneath the elbow next to the throttle body and the other bpv on the discharge tube of the supercharger. The bpv next to the throttle body can be deleted correct? and I can just put a bpv/bov on the discharge tube of the supercharger and vent it into the atmosphere?

On a blow through the bov has to be before the maf. I'd put it prior to the intercooler. The bypass that's under the tb has to be deleted.
