But seriously, if you had to take a guess, by closing up the valve, how much would your charger pressurize the system too, at say, idle...?
It doesn't. This isnt a positive displacement sc, its a centrifugal, it builds boost like a turbo. At idle, without load, it will not make boost. Yes its spinning, but so are turbos at idle, its not spinning fast enough to make any kind of boost, in fact the engine is probably taking in more air naturally than the sc is pumping at idle.

I wasn't trying to be a smartass, I was just saying that the Stillen SC uses the same valve, on the same car, on a similar system and so its the closest thing you guys have to compare with. Just trying to narrow down the search for you, believe it or not.

My car does NOT flutter at all.
