First night boosted, and I got towed home! LOL.
Blew out the front and rear mains. Too much crankcase pressure, gotta figure out a solution tomorrow.

HOLY CRAP MAN! 
that thing sounds sick!
I can't wait to see an in-action video of this thing... tires spinning, smoke pouring our from behind it, sideways action, supercharger whining... eeeehhhh... goosebumps

Yeah, lol...well, you're obviously PERSISTENT AND HAVING FUN, ....a combination that is unstoppable! lol. BTW, I know how it's gonna pass Commifornia smog.......soon as you PASS that hundy to the guy you 'know' at 'that place' hahaha. Ahhhh, who cares, you'll have a V8 in it soon, and I'd bet it will pass with that, ....right? hahah.

Got it back together today, replaced the mains. Heres a picture as of a few hours ago. See all the oil that sprayed everywhere? PITA!

If the truck would let me get past 1/4 throttle, I'd take a video. I don't think it can handle the supercharger much at all....
Oh, and here's another problem. When the truck is cold, it automatically puts itself in a high idle mode to help warm up, right? Well this is not helping. How does a supercharger work? It's always building boost, no matter what. It's all RPM dependent...so when the motor is cold and is high idle to warm up, it's also producing a few pounds of boost. And when this happens, the computer starts tweakin out and can't figure things out. It jumps idle, dies, sputter, high idle, skips, it does all weird stuff. I pretty much gave the stock ecu the middle finger and I'm debating whether I'm going to go thru with MegaSquirt, or just start the V8 swap.

You've come too far to give up on SC'd 22RE yet! Besides, once you have it running smoothly, it will be that much easier to sell the whole system, if that's your plan.

I don't post here much but look into the toyota MR2 setup.
They utilise a supercharger bypass pipe activated by a solenoid for idle and when you don't want the supercharger to run.
It utilises the same setup as an airconditioner to activate the pully for the supercharger. you may be able to adapt a similar setup to your supercharger so you can run the car at idle without the supercharger running, then activate it when you want the extra power.
Are you running a BOV.
If so check if there is vacumn there. It should have enough Vacumn to open the BOV at idle. Venting the Boosted air away from the manifold of the engine.
(Same as what the MR2's principle is, but it uses a large set of pipes bypassing the supercharger with a plate "similar to a throttle body" controlled by a solenoid at idle and when the supercharger is off)
Laws here prevent atmospheric BOV's, don't know what your laws are like over there, but we can't even register LHD vehicles here. Which sucks as you have some sweet Muscle Cars.
