the only time the afm/dod kicks in is when you are cruising at a steady speed at a very light load ,, in these conditions you would never be seeing boost anyways,,, the only time you get boost is when you are accelerating and under high engine load
example:
so even if you were cruising down the hwy at 65+ mph and in 4cyl mode and went to pass someone the afm/dod would turn off instantly as soon as you pushed down on the gas pedal you would be running on all 8 cylinders and your boost would come on like normal
and whatever company comes out with a supercharger will probly be including a ecm tuner or you will be sending your ecm to them to be flashed for the supercharger anyways
