The only thing I have ever heard about the toyota superchargers is that in suck-through applications the fluid moving through them can close up the tolerances arround the tips of the rotors and cause problems - I read that flicking through a Zoom magazine, but based on the number of people using them with suck through carbies that could be a bit overcautious. Pumping water through them could aggrivate the problem though?
