I have a V2 dyno tuned and with the intake restrictor removed. I think this will be the 8th year and at least 50K km on it trouble free. Stop being paranoid. The oil wouldn't pump internally if spun in reverse at high speed, which would destroy the unit. Also, there's a small spring-actuated mechanism that disengages the internal rollers to some extent at lower to idle speeds. Almost like a centrifugal clutch. This is unique to the HKS system compared to a regular Rotrex based design. It's probably ok, but don't mess with it just to be safe.
