supercharger only fix is replacement. Unless you hunt around on internet and see if anyone rebuilds them.i would imagine to be upwards of $2000 but prices vary where you are. you can go to www.junkyardog.com and type in what you need and you will have several junk yards contact you with pricing for the supercharger if you want a used one. You must have a belt on the supercharger or the intake will need to pull through it which it can but at a limited volume.
