[QUOTE="JB, post: 2658736, member: 3991"] Supercharger Bypass System The Supercharger Bypass (SCB) System allows the high pressure air at the outlet of the supercharger to vent back in the inlet of the supercharger, equalizing the pressure. This eliminates the boost (increased pressure that a supercharger produces) for times when supercharger function is undesirable. The components in this system are the vacuum bypass actuator (which controls the bypass valve inside the supercharger), a supercharger (boost) bypass (SCB) solenoid and a vacuum reservoir. The system normally operates with engine vacuum applied to the upper port of the vacuum bypass actuator, while the lower port references the air pressure in the clean air tube to cancel out any pressure difference in the intake air system. The actuator is set to open (bypassing the supercharger) during high vacuum engine conditions. As the throttle is opened, and engine vacuum decreases, the actuator closes to allow the supercharger to pressurize the air in the manifold. If an undesirable condition occurs in the engine, such as overheating or a critical Electric Engine Control (Electronic EC) sensor failure, the powertrain control module (PCM) also has the ability to control the SCB solenoid and direct the vacuum bypass actuator to bypass the supercharger. Once the engine condition has been corrected, the PCM allows the engine vacuum to control the vacuum bypass actuator. [B]this "fail-safe" feature is why I do not recommend disabling the boost bypass solenoid if your tuner has altered the torque-management triggers in the PCM that's OK (boost drop at shifts, for example), but physically disabling the solenoid is not a good idea[/B] [/QUOTE]
