[quote]A similar thing would happen with a turbocharger that has a blow off valve not opening correctly as well. However since it isn’t mechanically connected to the thing driving it then it just slows down while making a bunch of noise. I know that you were having issues with this but I didn’t put it together enough to say to check that.

That’s exactly the same thing, and even though some of the turbo guys thinks that noise/flutter is “cool”, well its actually causing damage to the turbo seals and bearings in the long run. With the blower you don’t get the noise/flutter but the damage to the seals and bearings are potentially the same.
Yes, I like the EBC idea but not sure at this stage whether its possible will start looking into that soon.
