No, not at this time. There is no stress when not under boost.

What happened to your spelling? A centrifugal's airflow delivery is tied to the rpm the compressor is running. When the engine is not under heavy load a bypass valve is open that vents the supercharger's airflow delivery. When manifold vacuum drops the bypass valve closes and then the engine is breathing through the supercharger. As rpm increases the supercharger delivers more air than the engine can normally inhale creating "boost" and pressurizing the intake system above atmospheric.
