How hot does your supercharger get when it is running? I've never owned one.

How hot does the powder coating process get it?

i know a few different people have done this. me being one of them. i did it 2 years ago and no problems yet. just make sure you take that rubber/plastic piece off inside the snout. drain all the fluid. if there is anything else that needs done i didnt do it and havent had any negative effects from it yet.

Ok I was actually worried about the gears that are INSIDE the CHAMBER. They hold up to the heat? Bc they look like they are rubberish.

Im actually still trying to figure out how the hell to get the peice that connects to the end of the snout that holds the pulley to come off. I got the pulley itself off...but no dice yet on that peice. There must be a way without ordering a tool. I just havent figures it out yet.

the hub is pressed on. you can just use a press if you dont have the tool to take it off (thats if you have shop access or a press at home) also when i coated mine i cant remember but i believe i took the rotors/blades/ what ever everyone else calls them out. (i had taken the whole thing apart to inspect it as i just bought it used right before i powder coated it. i did NOT remove any bearings though
