Supercharger down on i95

so driving to work on i95 I was following a black gtr... We were running in and out of traffic. But after awhile my supercharger stopped working... But no check engine light went on or anything :/ does the heat exchanger fix this problem or is something going bad with my car

The pumps go bad on these cars often. It is very common. No leaking... They just stop working.

Search this forum, there is a ton of information on pump replacement. There are less expensive, more reliable, and better performing pumps available if you would like to spend less money than you will be charged with an OEM replacement.

Its better performance than the stock one, but for less money.

There is nothing worse then the supercharger turning off. Get yourself the Cm30 johnson pump. I bought mine for $149 which is not expensive at all to fix a major issue like this one.
