There is a scenario in which SNS3Guppy is right: If the intake manifold is compromised by a large leak - e.g. loss of a cylinder head - then there's less downstream load on the blower, and thus less static pressure is developed at a given RPM. In other words, less back pressure.

However, simple fuel cutoff would not give the same result.
