absolute max

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.
Yes, they were reported as maximum, but allowable operating temperatures. And this would be with a full-synthetic lube package, circa 2015.
