Whatever happened to twin superchargers?

I think you are confused about the difference between a wastegate and a blow off valve. A bov will make the pshhh sound and release pressure in the charge system. Wastegates bleed off exhaust gas only and an open dump wastegate doesnt make a Pshhh noise.. It goes. BBBBBRRRRRRAAAAAPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!! and will blow your ears out and anyone beside you. But, it does sound beast mode.

I rode in another fellow's Starion years ago (and was running a lot more boost than me), who had a wastegate, and it made that psshhh sound every time it opened/dumped. But maybe you're right...perhaps I'm getting terms confused, possibly because the tuners I communicated with at the time used the wrong terms too.

The sound you described would drive me crazy!
