Just to clarify, high boost will not necessarily kill a SC12. Heat does. And heat doesn't necessarily or should I say is unlikely to come from high boost. In fact, it's more likely to come from low speed running with closed throttle. For instance, this occurs when the supercharger clutch wears out, or is locked shut. This is the fastest way to kill a Sc12.
I've yet to see evidence of a SC12 falling over as a result of the "heat" generated by 14psi. Fact is, that when the supercharger is working so it's producing 14psi, there is usually tons of air flowing through which in fact is providing adequate cooling to the rotors. It's when its sucking against a closed throttle with no air flow that heat is generated enough to melt the teflon.
