Best Answer

this is actually a yes and no answer. because the supercharger only engages when the throttle is pressed hard enough, yes it is possible to drive it without a supercharger. the no part of the answer is that any time you try to speed up quickly or pass someone the computer will tell the fuel pump to dump lots of fuel into the injectors to compensate for the added air the supercharger is supposed to be ramming into it. if the supercharger isn't producing air the engine will flood and stall.

Where is the supercharger oil plug on a 2000 grand prix?

There is a black Allen set screw on the passenger side of the blower facing the front of the car. You have to remove the plastic engine cover to access it. The fluid level should be at the bottom of the threads. Only use GM supercharger oil in the supercharger. Hope this helps. "G"

How do you disable the supercharger in a 1998 Grand Prix GTP and what are the advatages and disadvatages of doing diabling it?

you can't disable it. the only way not to spin the supercharger is take the belt off the supercharger. there are 2 belts on these engines. the one that drives the supercharger does not run anything else. to remove you need to get a 15 mm soclet and rachet and place it on the bolt of the tensioner. take the tension off and remove the belt. only advantage would be you wouldn't be making boost so not as much fuel is added. disadvantage would be that a Honda civic would beat you.
