Make sure the supercharger clutch is engaging first up.
You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
How do you check that? If its by taking the cover on the supercharger pulley off and making sure its spinning in there then yes it is spinning when accelarating only tho
If you take the cover off (which i assume you have a map sensor engine in that case), if you see the magnetic clutch actually pull back when you rev it (from idle) then it is engaging. If its spinning, it might not actually be working and only lightly grabbing. You will hear the supercharger whine if it is working when driving.
They are also only meant to engage under sufficient load (not just tps based).
If its all working, either charger is flogged out or you need a pulley.

Just realised it has not a single drop of oil so gonna top that up after work, and yeh it is a map version... When the car is idling that clutch thing doesnt spin then when I rev it it spins, and there is no whine coming out from the supercharger
As said it can spin without engaging, you need to see if there forward and backward movement on the front part of the clutch.
and no oil in charger aint good...

So I grounded the supercharger from the clutch plug and it worked... What does that mean? Is it bad to drive it grounded?
There are only 2 wires, one is an earth so goes to the body, the other is the main power, connect it to your positive terminal on the battery and take it for a drive, see if it works then.
Also dont suggest keeping it connected to the battery for a long period.
Doesnt matter what wire it is as they will both do the same thing.
