More blower noise

EDIT: on further research, this doesn't apply to a SC

Depends on the layout of the plumbing. When VW were making the G60 engine, the throttle body itself contained the valve for the return, so you could take the hose off safe in the knowledge that that particular port would only ever blow (so no unmetered air), and without creating a boost leak.
You did have to put a blanking plate over where the other end of the return pipe mounted though.

My m3 has no diverters valve, it plumbs boost back into system to act as an antilag type setup
Just like a turbo motor, the easiest way to get more noise is to run an open filter element - and currently only eventuri have a decent intake kit
Those silencer tubes bw airbox and Tb are more designed to act like harmonic adjustments to the airflow and thus sound, they won't do as much to add whine as an open airbox, but if the price is right via that mina gallery, id be keen to give it a go

The bypass valve opens to cut boost when you close the throttle, or when you are cruising with no throttle. This reduces the load on the intake system (i.e. reduces the parasitic losses of driving the supercharger). It opens up a path between the inlet and the outlet of the supercharger internally, so that there is no boost.
On the F-Types these bypass valves are driven by a stepper motor, on the older models they worked mechanically off manifold vacuum.
There is no benefit to be had from messing around with the bypass valve, so don't worry about it.

Now that Mina is making these sort of intakes, i'd say go for it.
In the past some people fabricated their own, here's one on a 5.0L XKR that was made a few years ago...
Something like this (in metal) along with open filters like the Eventuri or similar, will go a long way to freeing up the whine.
But you won't get the same sort of whine like the old cars with the M112 blower, the TVS on the newer engines is just not as loud.

Is that diagram from the v6 or v8? Is there a significant difference?
I was just watching a video comparing the v6 & v8. In the 8, you hear more exhaust and in the 6 it seemed like you could hear more motor and SC. It may just be a function of the v8 having a deeper sound and over powering the mic, but I'm not sure that would account for it...

Heres what i did for my V6 XE:
Removed engine cover = 2%
Removed Charcoal pre-filters from airboxes (not primary air filters) = 2%
Added VAP tune (boost from 11psi to 19 psi?) = 15%
Swap soft Y-Pipe for a Hard pipe like Mina = Unknown but should net +10% or more do to the nature of the soft pipe design and purpose.
Finally, port the blower which is super easy and will add a bump in power/flow.

There is a bypass valve on the supercharger, but it performs a different role to a wastegate or blow off valve in a turbo.
The bypass valve opens to cut boost when you close the throttle, or when you are cruising with no throttle. This reduces the load on the intake system (i.e. reduces the parasitic losses of driving the supercharger). It opens up a path between the inlet and the outlet of the supercharger internally, so that there is no boost.
On the F-Types these bypass valves are driven by a stepper motor, on the older models they worked mechanically off manifold vacuum.
There is no benefit to be had from messing around with the bypass valve, so don't worry about it.
On the older supercharged Jags (like my XJR) replacing the plastic intake that has the heimholz resonators on it, with a plain metal tube brought out a lot more supercharger whine, also opening up the air filter itself helps to enhance the noise.
Now that Mina is making these sort of intakes, i'd say go for it.

I've been looking for a straight answer on this:
Is the bypass valve fully closed at WOT in the de-tuned 340hp engine (and perhaps the V8 as well)? Sure would be an easy way to limit output.
I also don't understand how there could be no benefit to modulating bypass valve function if it is indeed controlling boost... presumably this is how VAP and other tuners have managed to increase boost without touching either SC pulley.
Here is what the JLR docs say about it... not too clear...
In any case I don't think this would help any for increased noise...

If the engine can take full boost at 6500rpm, then it should be able to take full boost at 2500rpm, etc. since boost is proportional to RPM... of course BPV would still need to take into account deceleration and throttle liftoff.
#37
Couple of reasons I can think why it would remain partially open is unnecessary load on the lobe bearings and heat build up.
But please continue this discussion. I also think that under 100% throttle opening and load the valve should be in the fully closed position, but I don't think it is...
