Blow off Valve C32 S/C

Does anybody have a blow off valve on their C32's? I know the car is supercharged and all but I never heard of anyone having a blow off valve in a Benz. My boy has one in his WRX, I can't figure out if I love it or hate it. .

The C32 supercharger uses an Electromagnetic clutch, The only way to use a blow off valve would be to weld the clutch.

Why weld it when you could just apply a ground and power to it when ever the ignition is on to keep it engaged permanently. Now the Blow-off valve is a bad idea.

You can not replace the clutch on the kompressor with a solid or welded pulley. DME monitors boost and will not upshift transmission if it can not disengage the clutch.

If somehow this can be reprogrammed, than one will need a bypass valve to keep kompressor from surging under part throttle and coasting down conditions.
