My research shows between 1300 and 2000. Depends on where you get the part.

Helix seems to have rebuilds currently available. You'll have to send yours in to get the rebuild for $750. http://www.helix13.com/1st-gen-mini/oem-used-bits/#top

Consider Stiegemeyer (http://www.stiegemeier.com/pricing.html). Pricing starts out at $400, and a full rebuild is $900. If you have a JCW upgrade, or if your MCS is '05 or '06, it might be a little extra if the rotors need to have a new coating of teflon.

We do have rebuilt units in stock--just be sure that it's the supercharger that has failed, and not another pulley, before investing in a reman supercharger. Use the prybar-as-stethoscope method to listen to the bearings in the nose and tail of the charger. We charge 5 hours for the work.

Yeah, I forgot it could be a failed pulley. Just don't hear of that too often unless its an upgraded one.
