Default help...

about a month ago, i installed a supercharger on my 1996 gsr with 130k miles on it, and the other day my integra started acting up... at high rpms, it would feel like it was choking and it would make strang noises. but i had no idea what it was. then today i was getting on it, trying to figure out what the feeling and noises were, and the oil light started blinking. I let it cool down for a minute and checked the oil, i didn't see much on the dipstick, but i really hadn't let it cool down all that much. so tommorow i have to check the oil in the am and i am preparing for the worst. if i do have no oil, does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? it drives great in low rpms, but once i hit around 6000 it starts to choke, and i've never had this problem in my car before i installed the supercharger.
