    Hey guys! Could use some help here! I went on blind faith and purchased a 98 grand prix gtp for a 1000 bucks and so far ive dumped a bit too much in it, so now im stuck with it. I got a bunch of new parts and i had to rebuild the trans in january. Its running good however the supercharger is questionable. I was told i can run the car until the supercharger goes out but how do i know when the end is near??? Lol! Since im already over invested whats the best solution here??? I was told its quite an expensive job and im tryin to find the best inexpensive way to go about this. Ive seen some cheap used superchargers but not too sure if i wanna take that risk! I looked up some vids on youtube and im thinking it might be just the coupler but i dunno. Can anyone recommend any good mechanics for this job near aurora,il???
