: To get a roots type blower to stop turning and still allow air to flow to the engine you would need some kind of bypass system built in to the manifold or the blower and you would need an electric clutch on the pully of the blower to allow the belt to keep turning with the engine and the blower to stop. All of this is irrelevent though because know one has ever made this happen and why should they, they figure if your going to bolt a blower on your engine you could care less about milage, and if you care about milage your not going to blot a blower on your engine. So which do you want power or milage, you have to sacrifice one for the other it is the law of nature. Other wise we would all be driving around in 10000hp cars that never had to be filled up!!!!!!
: : Anyone know of Superchargers (blowers) that can be turned on and off?
Wouldn't that be fun ?
