But is the blow on a supercharger not variable to a maximum? given the mechanical drive? Yes it blows from tickover.
My understanding was that a turbo doesnt blow until you have sufficient exhaust flow, but it is essentially then ON at constant pressure. Limited in pressure by the wastegate settings? Mind ive never got my head around variable vanes. The ones on my Mondeo got stuck giving too much boost and the electronics went bazerk and put it in limp mode. The garage predicted about a 1500 quid bill so I sacked them off anf a mate fixed it by drilling a hole in the inlet manifold, tapping it for a blanking plug. Aralditing a drinking straw to a tin of Mr Muscle oven cleaner and depositing the whole can in my turbo. Then putting the blanking plug in. 20 mins later we starter her up. A prod of throttle and a black cloud later and it was fixed
