blow through or suck through?
what is the best for a blower car? i was told its more acurate with blow through so i was wondering is this is the route to do. right now ive got the maf before the blower... would i have to retune the car at all to switch it behind the blower? the IAT sensor is already behind the blower so that wouldnt be a worry.... ive been thinking of getting a louder blow off valve just because i love that sound and i think the one i have needs to be just alittle louder. what do you all think about that?

Part 2: You want a louder blow off valve? What on earth for? Sounds like a waste of money, but it's you money, not mine. If you want it...

draw thru = more accurate air count and therefore a more accurate air/fuel ratio and better driveabitlity
blow thru = less restriction in the intake path and therefore a few more hp
im assuming the bov you are refering to is a bypass valve (recirculates the air before the sc) and you want a bov to the atmosphere. well, i would retune the car (i did after i switched from blow thru to draw thru...i'm not worried about the few ponies) so basically how much is venting worth to you? if its a few hundred bucks (tune and new maf) then go for it
