do these cars heatsoak this fast?or pump out?
Just got a 05 with low miles and drove it hard for maybe 3-5min and the supercharger is off.
It wasnt that hot out also. I drive around for maybe 2 min (just coasting)and punch it and the blower kicks in for a second and right back off.Is it normal for the car to shut the blower off from maybe 5 min of driving hard

Have the pump looked at it's that time frame for the 05s pumps to start to fail which is common. Mine went out about 3 months ago, took it in for warranty work and had it fixed. The codes won't come up saying it is failing just demand it be replaced and see what that does for you. Mine came back to life when I did that. I can't tell how hard you were driving and for how long but if you're not doing that much I bet it's the pump. I have done long pulls on the track up to 120 multiple times in the heat over 20 minute sessions and the pump when healthy worked just fine and the supercharger didn't shut off.

Under normal driving I'm seeing about 15* above ambient. WOT it heads for 130-140, but comes back down in a few minutes of highway speed (no load) driving.
Your issue is one of three things: there is air trapped in the intercooler system which you need to bleed out, you are not getting any power to the pump, or the pump is shot.

I sometimes wonder if its also not air getting into the circuit... I would try a good bleed first and then check the pump. Also, rather just fit a CM30 Johnson and be done with it.... still flows more than the improved OEM pump.
While you at it get a Code3 or similar - there are lots of options now - for larger H/E on the car. I cannot say which is better really but one with the largest volume is probably a good starting point.
3 mins and s/c shutdown - definitely is a problem and not the norm, even on a pulley car.

ok dealer just called,cars done with new pump.What should I expect in performance difference.
I just got the car and dont know what its supposed to feel like with a working pump.Is it going to be a huge difference or what?
The wait is killing me to go and drive it.

I just completed a CM30 install on mine last weekend. Not a complete apples-to-apples (my CL55 came with a larger HE), but I'm guessing you are going to notice a difference if your pump wasn't working properly or if the circuit needed a good bleeding. My car seems to have adapted considerably over the week. As others have mentioned, timing gets pulled back first before the SC is shut off. Mine seems to be getting performance back.

Just got it back and its way more consistant power.they cleared the ecu and it wont pass for a sticker,so I think it might get a little faster once it adapts.
Just plugged in the scan tool,107 idle after driving it 40 min home from the dealer,cruising around town it was at 97-102.I did a few first gear pulls and it never went over 120 and back down to 100 real quick.
Now my brother is going to have to take his in for a pump also,we were both idling at 161-163 the night before mine went in.

The factory (Bosch) pumps sometimes give up the ghost progressively...that is to say that they will operate for shorter and shorter intervals before failing completely.
A fellow board member showed me the BFH trick for getting one last dyno run out of his failing stock pump....you tap the pump mildly with the Big Freakin' Hammer.
This will dislodge enough of the powdered magnet dust out of the armature just long enough to get the pump to run for another 15 minutes or so.
FYI - I was on the third OEM pump when I changed over to CM30. Sometimes they go quickly too....
