^ This!
With NO valves it's a dampener. With valves it's supplies supplemental pressure, but again, it's highly arguable as to the effectiveness on an FA, and not a solution to the core problem. We already know on EJs (with 12mm pump and D-AVCS it's not an effective solution.

Tying an electric valve into either a standalone or arduino (etc) and say comparing oil pressure vs rpm vs accumulator charge pressure to determine when to open the valve would give the benefit of fast reaction like a simple pressure switch, but without dumping oil every time pressure drops because rpm did.

On the right track here, but it should go a step further and ONLY recharge when load is low. With a good standalone, this is easy to do. Off the shelf, it will recharge, dropping system pressure, at the worst possible time, under full load.
