    Speaking of intercooling it looks like I might be going for a WTA intercooler, anyone have tips on running an efficient WTA setup?

    depends how long you want to run on boost for at any one time...
    determines... size of heat exchanger (bigger is always better).. size of water reservoir (depends on time on boost)... etc...

    consider residence time.. too long and the water heats up too much in the IC... to short and it won't cool down so much in the exchanger....

    Have a look at the CAPA website, for different variants of centrifugal superchargers. There is even one there that runs an internal belt drive, rather than a gear drive, eliminates the need for pressure oil feed, and return oil lines.

    Not a fan of centrifugal, and all the twin-screws I've been looking at have fully contained oil supply.
