Default Dump Valve On A Supercharged Car???

This may be a stupid question but it is possible to put a dump valve on a supercharged car?

If so anyone done it?

No need to run one as the compressor runs off the engine so never stalls when the throttle is closed, just simply slows down..

Have seen one run but it just makes a very weird noise.
