is it possible to deactivate a supercharger on a running engine?
Like in the movie “The Road Warrior”. Mel Gibson’s character is able to turn off the supercharger on his car to save fuel. It is activated by a switch and relay of some sort. Is this S/C bypass valve actually feasible? I imagine you would need a second throttle body to completely bypass the impellers and a second fuel map for less compression. Anyone heard of, or seen this in real life?

Sure just do what mel did
Some cars like Mercedes supercharged engines have an electric clutch that is activated by the position of the throttle , when load on engines is increased the clutch engages the supercharger ..saves gas on low power driving by not turning the blower .
Not sure, but who the hell drives a supercharged car to save gas. If you’re fortunate enough to have a blower, you should be flooring the gas pedal as much as possible
