A bypass is actually a neat idea because it would bleed boost in the region where the CEL triggers but would allow full boost in the higher RPM.

Then again I always look for the mechanical solution for a problem.

This compressor runs full out when engaged unless in anti-restriction mode.
If it's running full out and doesn't need to be, it's wasting electricity, so I'd rather limit boost with the controller than a bypass.
