Thanks Gary for the encouraging words. Glad yours is holding up well. I’m actually holding it up as a benchmark.
I kinda studied the crap out of cooling (IC; air to air, air to water, etc) and the water/alcohol seems to make the most sense for an
SC in this car. In the past I've pooh pooh’d it as a kludgey solution but the more I’ve read…it’s legit, not really tricky and not really a big hassle.
The concept and implementation was actually developed for super charged fighters and bombers in WWII. Got them up in the air... fast.
Aside from heat, the super charger itself has limitations. It needs to be
the pretty small form factor it is to fit the car
physically. How much more it can be milked at the low end without actually being a drain at the top end or, spining the sc to fast, isn’t clear yet, pretty much a matter of doing some math though.
So, if your getting 270hp comfortably, thats what I'll aim for. According to the manufacturer, I’m already there and then some, but I’m not buying…yet.

BTW, how many miles have you chalked up on your turbo?
