Supercharger Question

BStanley346 · 04-01-2016, 04:54 PM

I am new to FI so go easy on me. I stumbled on this video of a Gintani supercharged e92 and about shit myself when I heard it. I have seen a lot of supercharger videos but none seem to sound quite like this one and I am wondering if it something different about the Gintani kit or just that this guy was able to catch the sounds on video. Right around 18sec into the video you will hear what I am talking about.

So with that said, what am I hearing? I am assuming it is just a different blow off valve?

Yeah that's their blow off valve. It sounds cool initially, but would get annoying after awhile.

I imagine I would engine brake a lot less because it sounds obnoxious on the street but that rev....

Not in love with it, but it's unique.
