Yeah I have done so a few times. Its not as bad as you'd think. Just flat and gutless at low rpm but once is has a head of steam it still gets along perfectly fine. Like a 1.4l GTI really. As Prise said, it may still be capable of 118kw, sans the S/C, as peak kw occurs way above the engine rpm at which this particular supercharger possibly be be running (3500rpm). This would also depend on what strategy the ECU applies with the S/C unserviciable.
