Electronically or mechanically adjusted? It seems to be very smooth, does it use PWM or variable compressor RPM?
Either way it seems like this is finishing touch that really sets it off. Especially...

A bypass actually wouldn't actually waste much energy, the compressor is only going to use the amount of energy required to generate a certain pressure ratio.

A bypass is actually a neat idea...

So that battery isolator should take the place of some of the relays in the 12v P/24V S set-up then. It should allow both batteries to charge at 12V when they aren't connected in series.

So this...

Are you going to run a 12v parallel to 24v series set-up like I posted? I'm seriously in favor of that option personally. Although I believe a small 12v battery might be required to run the car...

Do you intend on isolating the 12v drive battery so that it's not charged when the ESC is powered?

I think it would depend on if the ecu was able to equate ESC % to PSI and honestly I'm not sure how that would work.

I actually think the control could be as simple as pressure differential before and after the throttle plate. Past a certain MAP the SC would be ordered to produce X amount of boost above MAP up to a...
