I am with most everyone else. The heat issue is fixable. Also going supercharger is a downgrade in reliability. The heat needs to stay inside the exhaust. This can be done with ceramic coating and/or wrapping. Turbo blanket is a must. Everything should be covered up to the turbo. Since you are having heat issues you will probably want to cover after turbo all the way to the over pipe. You will probably need to add some hood vents also to get heat out. I went with 2 of the Versus large vents. My setup is similar to yours. Intercooler, oil cooler, radiator. I have the AVO kit. The design is better for heat control. My inlet was moved fwd of the intercooler with the Greedy intake. I sit in Dallas traffic in 100+ deg weather with the A/C on and do not have heat issues. Hottest track day I have done is in the 70’s and did not have a heat issue.

Cliff note version.
I believe wrap will cure your issue, vent just to be sure.
