Air Filters and Your Supercharger
The first line of defense for your supercharger is the air filter. Without proper filtration, unwanted dirt and debris can be passed through the supercharger causing knicks and gouge the rotors leading to premature wear, noise, and lower performance. Foreign material passing through the inlet track of a supercharger is in the top 10 causes of supercharger failure.
Key points for proper filter maintenance:
Use a quality OEM or aftermarket filter
Inspect air filter and seals with every oil change
Proper cleaning / replacement intervals
Use quality “ cold air” boxes, open element in the engine bay is not good
Off Road vehicles should have a shield protecting the air filter from debris and should be cleaned after every use. Especially dune / sand cars.
NEVER run your supercharger without proper filtration on the inlet
