2- Aren't you afraid to contaminate the oil from the supercharger damaging your engine components ?
im confused by question number 2????

Re question 1 i see no reason why the blower wouldnt be perfectly fine running Tws through its veins....... as oil goes its about as good as it get anyway, lots of the highly tuned GTR guys swap over to it ;-) Where the problems come in is the temperature..... The asa unit must not see oil temps of 140 deg C according to the literature, on a supercharged car, in a hot country, with a blower also heating the oil i think this could be an issue... the stock oil cooler will need uprating, hence im suprised gpower didnt supply one with the kit.

However, the OP may never track his car or use it hard for long periods so it may not be an issue, Iron, how do you plan to use this car??
