Default RE: (Forced) Induction System Options

Still no answer on dropping a drive belt for a super charger.

If there is a drive belt on a supercharger than it is probably a blower of some sort.

If a blower stops spinning, so does the airflow thru it. No air/airflow, then combustion will be super rich/non-existent.

I know Mad Max turns his off, but thats a movie & not real life.

I have not heard of anyone devising a blower bypass to get naturally aspirated air into an internal combustion engine. Help me out here??

A turbo can have its wastegate lowwered to such a low release pressure that it can effectively be turned off, but why bother having it then?
