question for any with a vortech supercharger

[yeevaj]

ok...so is there suppose to be air coming outta the blow off valve casue when i'm sitting at idle...i know it blows out when i drive it but its constantly blowing out when i'm at idle...is this normal or is there something wrong...

My knowledge of superchargers is that the BOV is really just recirculating the air back into the system so it would make sense that it is constantly, driving or not, 'blowing off'. just my 2 cents.

supercharger is belt driven so it is turning(creating boost) even at idle. so it would make sense if the motor doesnt need that boost that it is blown out. sounds right to me, but correct me if im wrong.
