BTW... This has been a great discussion for me, it got me to realize that if the PCV valve leaks boost pressure on the TBI system you will get an air / fuel mix being blown back into the crankcase. This is a potential source of oil contamination. Since I run boosted for extended periods , even a small leak would be an issue. So if nothing else I got something out of the explanation.

We all get something out of these discussions. I personally have no problem with you calling it a supercharger but the industry elected to separate the two so that there would be no confusion. A good example is the generator and alternator. Even though they both accomplish the same thing, they were called two separate names for years. Now that the old generator is a thing of the past, if you will notice, just about all factory manuals have gone back to the term generator, which describes what it does and not how it accomplishes the task. There are other components that come to mind but I see no need to pursue this further.
Contrary to what some may think, our disagreements are not personal as far as I am concerned. The primary concern is to help resolve the problem at hand. I respect book theory. “You can’t fix something if you don’t understand how it works.” But I also have a dogged determination plus a willingness to question everything and assume nothing until I have confirmed what I have read or been told. So when i make a statement that goes against conventional theory, i have confirmed it.
Thanks
