That's because the supercharger is not being spun by the exhaust gases. Besides, the ambient air temp near the filter is not enough to really matter because the charger is spun on the engine's belts. The only heat source that really matters is the headers. The air being pushed by the charger is too fast for any significant heat soak.

With setup, there is no pressure drop after the charger, and this makes up for the drag caused by shaft.

Sorry if this post sounds incoheirent(sp?). Its pretty late.
