If I ever see a MINI with this, I will beat the driver silly! No, seriously.

That Nice. But why not get the real thing. A twincharged Mini, 250 hp at the wheels. I drove it, amazing. And has blowout valve which will work for real.

Another difference between a turbocharged engine and the Roots-type supercharged MCS is the location of the throttle body. In a turbo (or a centrifugally supercharged engine), the compressor forces air through the throttle into the intake manifold. When the throttle is closed suddenly, a pressure wave can build up against the throttle and bounce back to the compressor causing at best an unpleasant sensation and at worst serious damage. In the MCS, the throttle is UPSTREAM of the supercharger, so it never sees compressed air. Slamming shut the throttle by lifting off the gas does nothing more than reduce the pressure on both sides of the supercharger. The bypass valve in the MCS goes one step further in allowing intake air to pass through the supercharger without significant compression.
So, the moral of the story is, a BOV is neither necessary nor a good idea for the MCS.
