There's not really a certain time frame. There are too many variables to say. It depends on what the supercharger goes through, how fast it is spun, how much boost its pushing, how often its in boost,how well it's maintained, etc. A superchargershould last as long as the rest of the engine if it's maintained and used right I would think.
