yes people overdrive blowers....and superchargers cannot be compared to turbos ... it's like apples and oranges....

yes i can turn up my boost on my turbo... but my turbo can handle it all day cuz i may be going from 7psi to 10 psi but my turbo can handle 25 psi all day so it doesn't harm anything...

on the other hand... what u are saying is that... like the greddy turbo, one could pump psi up to about 13 psi to try and get about 350whp...u will get there by upping ur boost from say 9 psi to 13 psi on ur boost controller...but u can kiss the reliablility and longevity of that tubo bye bye right away.....cuz it's working too hard.

the same goes for the comptech supercharger... yes u can pulley it down to 11 psi or so... some people even get 12 psi and so on (RSXers). but the comptech SC has just lost it's reliability then also...u can ask them or go take a look over on clubrsx.com... pully belts popping, tensioners snapping, supercharger losing effiency...etc. etc...

so yes u can upgrade everything but everything has it's limits...

and believe me when i tell u that comptech one has it's limits.
