Diverter valves installed
We just wrapped up a diverter valve project on my C55's supercharger. My car seems to shift a bit better. Not sure its from having a supercharger thats working or if the diverter valves. Here is a picture of the new setup. Kinda 
but we felt it was needed.

My supercharger is engaged all the time and there is not way to stop the car from boosting or to let off any of the boost. This allows air in the surge tanks when under vacuum to be routed back into the supercharger. when i step on the gas the valves close and boost happens. As soon as I let off the gas the throttle body closes and the valve open.
The end result is more linear throttle response, Safer boosting, and maybe better gas millage. Also the car feels so much stronger. it was 105 degrees out any my but dyno told me the car is pulling harder. Thats was with the AC blasting.
