[QUOTE="merkyworks, post: 16284936, member: 179203"] This is a common misunderstand of how the bypass actuator/valve works. When the bypass valve is open intake air doesn't flow through it and bypass the rotors. It's actually the other way around, supercharger outlet (compressed) air flows up through it and back into the intake path. Cruising the supercharger rotors are creating more air than then engine needs, this unused air creates issues and needs to go somewhere. So the bypass valve opens and allows this unused trapped air to go somewhere, back into the intake to be reused. Edit: Found this diagram illustrating how the bypass system works. Top image is WOT and bypass valve closed. Bottom image is cruising with bypass valve open. [ATTACH]1598003[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
