presuming you're talking about when in 'standby mode', i think we need to validate this assumption. you may find that in trying to match compressor rpm to the intake requirements of the engine, you create more restriction than you eliminate. i'm not sure, just saying that this will require experimentation to validate that it's even a problem.

i'm led to believe this by knowing that if you cut the belt on a centrifugal supercharger and it's just sitting there dead in the intake tract, the car will run and drive like a stock, non-supercharged vehicle. it doesn't seem to create significant intake restriction. don't ask how i know
