4AGE Heat Shielding Intake Gasket

discharge air will heat up according to the pressure ratio. The more
boost you have the hotter the discharge air. The GZE supercharger
has an electromagnetic clutch, that disengages the supercharger and
allows the engine to run N.A. when boost is not required. No doubt
this helps cool the rotors and housing.

Most of the heating will be from compression of the air, but every little
bit helps. So fitting a thermal gasket between the head and the intake
manifold would be a good idea. Use 1/8" or 4mm thick virgin PTFE
(teflon) whichever is available. It is expensive, but it is also the best
thermal gasket material available.

Indeed it is a Roots type blower. I have not hit boost yet as I need to sort out a TPS issue. So this heat is without hitting boost.

I'll follow your advice regarding thermal gasket. Then I hope water injection will do its work....
