Default custom swith in au with powerdyne,whats it for?

Does anybody have any ideas what the custom swith is for above the boot release in an au with powerdyne supercharger that im looking at?

The car yard has no idea.I didnt think they would since they tried 2 tell me it was a vortec.

Also,i was wondering what happens if the supercharger stuffs up,or the belt breaks?
Can you still drive the car until you get around 2 fixing it?

Ps
Im not 2 smart,it took me 15 years 2 work out holdens suck.

Thanks in advance.

dont know about the switch, but yes you can drive it if the belt breaks...you're best off keeping a spare belt on hand though so if it does you can replace it straight away

easiest way trace it to the end, id guess its an isolate switch for water injection
if it blower runs off the serpentine keep a standard belt in the car just incase
if it runs its own belt and breaks ,car should still be fine
if the blowers internal belts fail take drive belt off aswell

try find someone who has knowledge to take with you

It's the self destruct button. Just like in SpaceBalls
