Blown supercharger, now idles at 5k

Right, in a series of unfortunate events on a drive up the Hume, my supercharger has broken.

I stopped in Euroa, and leaving the town I can it a bootful after which the sound of the supercharger changed, then 5 mins down the road I checked my boost gauge and it had stopped working completely, and on top of this, it now idles at 5 k.

Does anyone know of a way to make it drive able so I can return home and replace it.

Any help appreciated,
Mat.

P. S I'm also in desperate need of a gze tps.

    Lucky for me it was a false alarm on the super charger, for some reason when I was fiddling with it today some clicked and I noticed the throttle butterfly had sat back down on its stop. The car now runs fine except there is a weird hesitation/ rev limit when you apply up to 10% throttle

    May be the bearings/bushes for the butterfly pivot shaft causing sticky operation. Try giving them a bit of lube.
