I will be doing a VMAX build in the end of may so will take full photos of step by step building and post a build thread. My engine is out of the car though so might be slightly different but i will try to make the build as though the engine was in the car. But obviously you would have to wait until may/june time for me to do that!

I was down at Vmax on the 24th picking up my car following custome fuel injection mapping on my s/c 1293 vmax built. He is well busy right now! I suppose lots of cars now are being taken out of hibernation for shows etc, and upgrades etc.

 

Can confirm my s/c seems to produce even more power now after being used for 1000+ plus miles in the suck through way, now with injectors putting fuel right onto the rotors.

I have one on my setup. Its the one on the underside of the inlet, pumped around with a small pump/resevoir and a heat exchanger with fan mounted up front. Works really well, after getting back and opening the bonnet the supercharger is much cooler, can keep your hand on it, its hot, but not roasting as it was before.

I have one on mine fitted by vmax. It works great but had to re route the pipes away from the manifold it just looked a little sloppy. Will post some photos at the weekend for you

I found the pipes kinked easily if they were routed too short, had to leave quite a loop on them to maintain good flow. Exhaust manifold is heat wrapped but I think one of the water pipes does sit very close to the exhaust.
