My cousin's husband runs his own repair garage doing mostly Honda stuff but he installed a supercharger setup on a customer's Miata and he said it ran pretty strong like that. There wasn't much room to work with, but then most of today's cars don't have any room in the engine compartment. Oh, and a turbo does transfer heat to the intake side to some extent. The setup in that picture is looking for trouble with a turbo pumping directly into a supercharger with no intercooler? Run away from that cr@p.

they posted new pics of the same system in the thread...its got an intercooler between the turbo & blower & hes using water injection after the blower lol I just dont see a point to all that work for a boost in low low end tq lol. And because of the design of a turbo your unintentionally heating the intake charge one way or the other...dpending on boost levels you could easily be pushing iats of 190F+ with no intercooler at all...so even though exhaust gas isnt being recirculated it still isnt "cool" air being pushed into the motor w/o an intercooler.
