I'm not sure why you would want to test if the supercharger is modified
of not, but your method would probably work. But I think to make the
supercharger work with all games, the modification also has to turn of
the writing capability. So simply trying if you can write to the SC's RAM
might also do the trick.

IIRC it's not so much about timing, but more about the number of ROM
accesses. A write will go to the fifth address that gets accessed after
an access to an address at $F0xx. Writes to $FFF8 will happen even if
the access to $F0xx was less than five cycles ago.
