Dave, your idea with a recirculating bypass should work. The only thing that would be different is the hot boosted air is being dumped back into the intake pre-supercharger, so inlet temperatures will rise (and therefore so will discharge temperatures). I'm not sure if water/meth alone would be enough for cooling... I'm not saying it won't be, but I would need to do some thinking on psychrometrics.

I built a calculator that's pretty handy. I can shoot it your way if you're interested... or, if you give me some specifics of a few different setups, I can graph them out.
