I'm in total agreement. The closer this is to a stand alone system to start with the better. I like the idea of a bypass, but I'm getting hung up on what to use for the valve.
Two bypass options as I see it:
1. An electrically controlled valve. Using a throttle body is what first comes to mind.
I don't personally like this. It becomes another active component that adds to complexity.
2. A spring loaded valve that is is held open when there is lower pressure on the engine side relative to the intake side. As soon as the compressor kicks in and there is higher pressure on the intake side the valve is forced closed.
Some sequential bi-turbos use this type of valve but I'll be darned if I can find where I can buy one.

I would start by just doing the supercharger side of the project, its already a big thing to have that design and working properly, the rest can be added later when proof of concept is achived.
