Has anyone tried mechanically linking the throttle to a variable
wastegate on the manifold between supercharger and carburetor?
I was thinking that this way possibly the more-opened-up wastegate could
let the pressure blow off when the throttle was pulled back, and increase
the blow-off level as the throttle was opened.  Terrence
 
What has been done, is use an electric clutch similar to the A/C compressor
clutch to disengage the supercharger at low RPM or where boost is not required.
In my opinion, the only real advantage of a mechanically driven supercharger is
low RPM response. I can't see the need in an aircraft.  Maybe aerobatics??
