Your need to replace your intercooler circulation pump. All C32's will need to have theirs replaced eventually. Do a search and you will definitely find all the information you need. Basically, your supercharger is shutting down becuase your intake air temperatures are getting too high (safety feature).

He speaks the truth. Just about the same exact issue happened on my C32 (on the road, but the nonetheless), the whole 84-85MPH thing to a tee. The IC pumps on this car are practically considered a wear item, even by the dealerships - if you have an extended warranty, bring it in and tell them the IC pump is dead and don't let them give you any grief
