Check your intercooler pump again.

Make sure you have no air-locks in the cooling system.

As said above, keep on checking your IC-Pump, maybe, just maybe the new pump is defective. I hope so. If, it is the pump.

This will have you sorted, it's a Heavy Duty pump.

In my opinion and from what I read, the supercharger dis engages when the intake air temps get too high such as the intercooler pump failing, air in the system or the sensor itself goes bad. Just take it in and get it checked out for sure.

I had the same problem before and replace my IC-pump with the John CM30 from Benzworks (Serge). After I did that I haven't had any problems. I have done multiple pulls in the high desert and the supercharger didn't shut down to limp mode.

I am experiencing the same exact thing. I can do one run smashing hard. When i come to a stop and try to smash, my sc is disabled. Runs horrible!!!! Only happens when i smash hard.I was about to post a thread about this. So I'm looking at a bad ic pump? My car is practically stock. What am i looking at for a new pump?

Bad pump most likely culprit. OP sounds like you have air in the system..bleed it and beat on it.
