Well what I meant is that it puts the air under pressure and shoves more in there than it would be able to suck in with a natural vacuum, raising the air pressure inside the manifold, right?... and that process in itself generates heat. Along with it spinning very fast

Putting the air under pressure is compressing. The M90 is a root style supercharger. Basically, the M90 is a fan in a closed circuit, drawing more air in than the motor can by itself. The heat comes from the friction of the impellers spinning inside of an aluminum case. A screw style blower will compress.
