Does anyone know what the purpose of the molded foam rubber pad between the block and the supercharger is?

 

to increase hp by reducing heat transfere into case from engine, also helps to absorb SC noise

 

Thanks!

 

where can i buy a new foam thing. i searched and dont even know what the proper term for the foam is called

 

It's called "Sound insulator". I checked on the Jaguar EPC and the part # is AJ82383. I just tossed mine out when I put the new coupler in my supercharger, it was getting in the way during install. I don't know if I actually lose HP from extra heat, but I haven't noticed an actual noise increase.

 

Also there to keep the heat from the charger from transferring into the hose or vice a versa haha
