Yea but on a turbo, why? If you want to be in boost, you are in boost, if not, it's not hard to stay out of it. Doesn't matter if the turbine is engaged or not, the restriction still exists.

On a supercharger it's different because you can eliminate the parasitic draw from spinning it when it's not needed. And only engage the clutch when extra power is needed.
