Yeah, check SC clutch is coming on, and the relay powering it is working. Possibly super loose belt. You should be able to hear SC whine when engaged.
Or have you forgotten to connect up your intercooler pipes? Beyond this it could be electrical, and I'm not familiar with that.
Good luck

thanks for the info guys..... keep it coming cause its still happenin.
M.W.P. how can you tell if its kickin in ???
sideshow : if you are the guy that runs sideshow then you ran the wiring for this engine out at PHD & the clips are yellow
I cant hear the charger working & the I/C pipes are fine... I checked engine has oil so that rules that out
thanks

He means the supercharger oil, there should be a little butterfly nut ontop of the supercharger, thats the dipstick. It's could be a real bitch to get to

Well you can see it if looking under the hood while it does click in, but you wont be able to do that while driving it obviously (unless your on a dyno).
Is the SC wired up properly?

Run the car and wathch the SC pulley.
Tthe centre of the pully should be still or spinning at a different speed to what the belts going round at. When the clutch magnetises the centre of the sc pulley will spin in time with the belt.
Watch it and rev the car with your hand. It should go clunk and start spinning same as belt when man pressure reaches about -6 psi. And check the SC has oil in it!

Ok I have checked the oil in the charger & that is fine & also checked that the pulley whic does what its supposed 2 although there is no clunk noise when it engauges... I rechecked the I/C pipe & thats fine 2
Is there anything any one else can think of ?
Thanks for all the help so far guys

sound like your mag. clutch isn't kicking in mate.
( to be honest I don't know all that much about the s/c setup... but I am an Aircraft sparky)
check your relay!
If thats fine then maybe your coil is open or shorted. if you can get a multimeter take a resistance reading (with the car NOT Running) - If you get A high or infinate reading = Open = McFUCKED!
- If you get a very very low reading less than say 5 ohms = open = Fucked!
More than likely (I'm 99.9% sure!) it will be a dodgy relay.
