Default Reducing blower temps..

Just wondering if anyone knows.. Is there any way to reduce my blower temps aside from an intercooler? I have an eaton M90, a CAI, larger downpipe, and ported exhaust manifold.. I've seen the S/C housing reach temps of 290* (can't touch it without scalding you.. I measured temp with a laser temp gun..) The blower as far as I know is good.. but I'm more worried about the temperature of the air I'm putting into the engine.. Aside from an intercooler.. Are there any ways to cool these temps further? I am having some spark knock issues as-is..

Could put a hood scoop on it, that'll get some cool air on the S/C.

Have you looked into the Aquamist systems? They have sveral systems available that spray a fine water mist into your intake charge. The other Supercharged member Polo has it and he really likes it. I looked into it but it's pretty pricey.

It may not be called Aquamist, but it's something like that. They also make an alcohol injection system.

Killer setup for those looking to cool intake charge temps, we used it on a boosted 00 eclipse and it brought EGT's down like 75 to 125 degree's on average

Or look for a water to air intercooler. They cool intake temps a lot more than air to air intercoolers.

I believe he asked "aside from an intercooler".
