not entirely true. While it is a supercharger, it is also a centrifugal design. You don't really see any boost until upwards of 3k rpm. In that respect, it works much like a turbo that is belt driven. It is just as possible to stay out of boost with the s/c than the turbo. Just layin that facts down
