Bobby,
I would be interested to see what boost is safe also. You might consider an intercooler!
I assume you are using it on a RX8 engine( i.e. 10:1 ), if so, you could always consider going to 3mm apex seals, if you feel it would be safer.

Not much to tell Rob. It's an Eaton M62 4th gen. http://www.capa.com.au/eaton_mp62_4th.htm  My notes show the weight at 25 lbs but I am not sure if that included mounting brackets.  If everything goes as planned I should be able to fire it up in January. The plan is to use it for normalization or 1-2 psi of boost if the discharge temps are not to high. It has a 1" internal bypass that provides a intake air path around the screws so it is yet to be seen what effect this will have on temps. 
 
Does anyone have any real data as to maximum safe intake temps with 10:1 rotors and 2mm seals?

Bobby
Tell us a little about your supercharger. What brand? How much? How heavy? Have you run it yet?
Thanks.

Looks like the consensus is to place the MAP ports away from the runners. I will try the discharge duct of the supercharger for both MAP and the Grand Rapids EIS temperature probe. Looks like the EC2 temperature probe should not be place after the blower since it leans fuel at higher air temps. It will go after the air filter and before the throttle body.
 
Thanks,
 
Bobby
