Since we don't have any type of bypass there is potential of damage to the compressor/motor shaft. Not that this has happened to anyone and it's unlikely to happen at 4 psi, but how much experimentation do you want to do? These features that rapidly open/close the throttle plate are something that is best tested on a test fixture rather then your vehicle.

If you can get auto-blip - do add that. It really reduces the workload approaching a fast corner when a downshift is required.
Thanks for the heads up! But I'm not a fan of those features anyway. In my opinion: if you can't do it yourself don't get it.
