Just a thought. For the true "Mad Max" style supercharger. Flip a switch and hang on.

Why would you turn it off?



Exactly. Not to mention that with a supercharger like Hectors, or the one posted, the engine will not be able to pull air through the vanes and run at all. The vanes seal completely inside the supercharger, allowing it to make the kind of boost that its capable of. No leaks. If you look closely in the link BP posted, you can see vanes mesh 100%. If its not turning, there is NO airflow.

You might be able to build some kind of bypass for the engine to pull in air when the blower is not turning, but I really dont think its worth the effort.
