People probably don't mention this everytime the cons of a supercharger are asked as it probably doesn't affect them and they know it won't affect most people. Not too many guys looking for a blower are going to be the ones using Auto mode. Also, as it has been mentioned before most people probably don't really care to keep bringing it up, especially with how minor of an issue it is for most. Not trying to come off as rude but the first rule is to search and read as many previous posts about a topic one is concerned about. For any question that comes up over and over again you can't expect every single piece of information from past posts to make it there.

To be honest if someone was asking me pros and cons of a blower it definitely would be one of the last things I would think of, if at all.

Here's the thread with the do's and dont's. Very informative indeed. Didn't know he was banned, though. Bummer.
