Probably a silly question, is this a lube connection for the supercharger? The blue capped inlet. Thanks!

Nope, someone added that, you dont want to spray lube in there because it will end up in the intercooler and coat the inside. And can affect the cooling of the air. This is why most people with S/C engines add a catch can breather instead of it going to the intake.
Dont know what that is for

Thank! The catch can came up when I did a search to try and find out the purpose of this tube. Do you know why they would’ve added it? It does look like there’s some residual oil in the tube.

Have no idea, thats a first for me to see. Could have been added for fogging but i would only fog after the intercooler but hard to do
 
Could it be a carb cleaner injection point? Used to clean the intercooler?
Why, it never gets dirty. Very clean environment.
Take an air filter out after 10 years and its still like new

I was thinking along the lines of cleaning the oil from the crankcase breather which apparently gets deposited over time.
