i am assuming this mode only works on a factory fitted supercharger witch has an ecu operated bypass
interesting though

Hmmm ...
The text in the advert states:
Under normal engine operating condition vacuum is supplied to the bypass valve. The valve opens, diverting excess airflow back into the air plenum. This prevents the supercharger from “cavitating.”
Cavitating causes reduced performance, increased temperature, and poor fuel economy.
At high engine demands, vacuum is removed from the bypass valve causing it to close. This directs all airflow from the supercharger to the intake manifold.
This is NOT how the bypass works, and the statement above is even self-contradicting!
Vacuum does open the valve, but the air does not "divert excess airflow back" i.e., circulate through and return into the rotors - if it did there would be no vacuum and the valve would close.
Eliminating the bypass will cause additional wear on the engine and supercharger when not under load.
