Think of it this way:

Walk up behind a large dog and startle it = something bad is probably going to happen

Do the same thing but talk to it and make it aware and the chances of something going bad are greatly reduced.

YMMV

PD blowers require a recirc valve to operate well...

Just cruising it consumes the same amount of fuel as an N/A or turbo car with just the 1-2hp loss of the rotors turning. It only makes boost when you put your foot into it... Quite frankly, I love the brute force low end power my s/c 6mt has... Even the M5 doesn't have that "holy **** im in a sling shot" that the S/C EG33 gives the car
