Did some work now supercharger wont kick on.

Had a couple people at an Indy take my a/c compressor off and check it out, and blow some air through the lines etc..

Once everything was back together, when i turned the car back on, the fan came on, probably doing a test or something, and the supercharger worked for a minute, but then it stopped working.

I dont think its thrown a code yet, but I'm sure it will soon.

A) what are the possible causes?

B) does it damage my car to drive it in this way?

I have a 2002 c230.

It is my understanding that the C230 can't kick the blower on or off, it is always on. How do you determine it isn't working?

The blower blows all the time unlike the C32 blower that is clutched. Pressure is maintained at optimum levels by the wastegate controller.

Ok so it could be the waste gate controller.

What could effect the waste gate controller?

02 sensor?

Make sure you didn't munch the red gasket thingy on the oil catch, and check the connector for the recirc air valve.
You need to verify everything is together correctly
check the output hose where it attaches
to the SC output.
Happened to me.
There's a clip.
