See, I just don't get that.

Say you are driving at 5,500rpm, just cruising at this rpm so there is very low load on the engine. The SC is spinning just as fast as if you were WOT at 5,500rpm and making full boost. So with the SC spinning just as fast and making no boost, if there is no clutch of any sort, where is all that air from the full speed SC going?
