Oil reservoir for TTS-Performance Rotrex C30 supercharger

[late2ride]

Anyone put the Stage1 supercharger on their Rocket? Looking at the instructions from TTS-performance I should locate it in the air chamber under the tank between riders knees. However looking at the Rotrex instructions it should NOT be located at a higher level than the supercharger itself. I confirmed this is not true from the folks at TTS-Performance. I would like however to hear from someone out there running this setup with the oil reservoir up in the air chamber area as instructed by TTS.

Yeah i've mine in the stock air filter box under the seat. However I don't have enough miles clocked up to speak of its long term reliability etc - @warp9.9 does

No problems with mine in the air filter box

I ran mine in the ait box for quite some time drilled a hole in the front right lower corner for one of the lines to pass thru. Moved it for a couple reasons one being more room in the box. Mine is hooked yo the frame on the left front tube right where the vin sticker is. Kind of almost level with the supercharger. I know someone @Pres10 who is rebuilding his rotrex right now. For some reason it lost its prime. I believe his is in the air box. He should be along now that he has been summoned definetly could add to this discussion.

I asked the very same question when doing my installation.

If the reservoir is higher than the SC I know I'd be running one of these, or similar, on the drain side of the SC to ensure proper oil drain:
TURBOWERX SPARTAN 12V - ELECTRIC OIL SCAVENGE PUMP or Electric Scavenge Pump for Turbo Oil Feed 3.7 GPM 12VDC

The idea is to ensure oil flow is consistent, and a scavenge pump paired with a small drain reservoir, is just the thing to ensure the SC has regular and constant drainage.
