Same here on the build up, had lots of gunk on the throttle body and intake elbow, but the rotors in the supercharger looked ok. A tech at the local dealership advised not introducing any chemicals that could later impact the bearings.
On the reinstall, does slotting the rear mounting bolt allow sliding the supercharger in after reinstalling intake elbow? Or does it just help to get the bolt started? Seems it would be easier to remount the intake elbow without the supercharger in the way. But, would we then be able to tighten down the rear mounting bolt?
Thanks in advance.

Yes slotting allows you to mount the intake elbow to the s/c before you put it back on. I test fit the s/c a few time to get the bolt as low as I could and used some red loctite on the bolt as well. You cannot tighten down the rear mounting bolt, but you can install the 2 bolts that hold the intake elbow down. Shaved a lot of frustration and time off as you don't have to try to get to the bottom two intake elbow bolts.
