When the intercooler pump in my Teutonic tourer failed, the supercharger was inhibited whenever an 'inlet temp high' condition was sensed. The performance was worse than with the normally aspirated version as the EMU defaulted to a very conservative condition; fortunately it was an easy and quick extended warranty fix.

Back to aviation and matelots, wasn't it the Sea Vixen which had the ultimate blend of mixing systems - with fuel cooled, hydraulically driven AC generators?
