Let me see if I can get this right.
The compressor turbine free-wheels until negative pressure is reached, then a feature called Drag-Reduction kicks in where the supercharger pulses the compressor to regain positive pressure. This actually adds about 5-10 hp even when not WOT and is a feature that can be felt while driving.
