My recollection of Max's was that his actually disengaged the belt, and the blower stopped spinning. The cool part was that when he engaged it at highway speed (2K RPM?), it just "caught up" to the engine rotation. Then, of course, we add the nitrous boost and hope the nose stays on the pavement... LOL
My 2006 STS-V has a factory Eaton m122 on it with a serpentine belt. Not exactly sure how I could manage a maneuver quite like that... :-D
WRT boost bypass, this is, of course, correct. Without acceleration, my boost gauge drops to 0psi (such as highway driving with cruise engaged). The fun starts when the gauge gets to 8psi or so (the display allows for up to 15psi, which of course is more than the m122 will put out).
Enjoy.
