I don't have one personally but I would assume it gets very hot.
thanks that's what i figured.:thumbsup:It depends on if you are in traffic for 10 minutes or on the highway. Mine got hot as hell in traffic but not that bad on the highway. In the summer I saw 125 degree intake air temps in traffic which is not good. If I had kept the car I would have gotten meth injection just for summertime. If you dont have one by now you NEED a good wideband O2 setup and a scanguage to see the air temps. The supercharger and brackets will get hot, pretty normal.
if you look closer, he clearly has it installed alreadyI think you also have to consider that you will also need other mods to handle either installation (breathing, clutch, ride, and handling) and you might want to factor all into your buying decision.
the more you get down on it the sooner heat soak in the head unit will set in those blowers have to compress and cool lots of air under boost and the hotter the ambient tempurature the more it has to work . mine gets hotter during these summer months in texashow hot does the s/c get after a 10 minute drive? my brackets and all were pretty hot to the touch. anyone else have this problem?
i dont really understand the concept of how the methanol injection helps that much the heat soak damage to performance that occurs in my opinion is due to the heat soak in the head(blower unit) once that is hot the methanol injection help is negligible at best probably would be better to ice the head unit down or let it cool for about 30 minutesIt depends on if you are in traffic for 10 minutes or on the highway.

Water/Methanol injection cools the intake charge in the cylinders. When the liquid flashes to a gas the heat is absorbed.i dont really understand the concept of how the methanol injection helps that much the heat soak damage to performance that occurs in my opinion is due to the heat soak in the head(blower unit) once that is hot the methanol injection help is negligible at best probably would be better to ice the head unit down or let it cool for about 30 minutes
Yeah, my 125 degree intake air temps in the summer traffic really arent that bad but I was pretty picky.I don't think those IAT's are all that high for stop and go traffic....
