I'm having trouble agreeing with this. Are you saying a supercharger pumps in bigger air than a turbo or a supercharger runs hotter than a turbo? Surely a turbo runs hotter due to recirculating hot ass exhaust funds through the engine bay, spinning the big side of a turbo and significantly raising temps under the hood more than a belt driven SC. Granted I'm describing a front mounted turbo setup. Compare to rotrex not twinscrew.

Why is it a twin screw has higher IAT? Is that core intercooler just not sufficient enough ?
