Your best bet is to contact Vortech directly at 805-247-0226. They pretty much are the only people that can fix their own superchargers.
You don't have to replace the supercharger you will just have no performence power and bad gas milage, but you will not harm the supercharger. Same thing happen to me, year later I replaced my supercharger belt and supercharger was fine.....dont wait get it fixed dont hurt the GTP!!!!!
This is a very bad sign. If the supercharger has no oil it is very possible that you have a leak from the nose piece and because of the leak your bearings are running dry. You need to get this fixed right away for if you do damage to the core it will end up costing you several hundred dollars more. The best thing for you to do is to contact rebuilders of these products.

Depending on the supercharger, it will require a special blend of synthetic oil. This synthetic oil normally is located in the supercharger itself. Most superchargers will have a hex nut located on the front of the supercharger. This area is used to drain and fill up the supercharger oil. You cannot use just any synthetic oil, you will have to use "Supercharger Oil"
