I don't have the reference but those temperatures are very, very high - I'd guess the absolute max before destruction.
For example, an engine oil temp of 284F (140 degrees C)
is above the breakdown temp of a conventional oil, although not of a fully synthetic.
Those supercharger fluid temps would imply an intake air temp of over 176F (80 degrees C) - and you never ever want to see that on a forced aspiration car.
Coolant temp 115 degrees C - and so on...
The OP is now 12 years old, so I won't bother answering that.
