Assuming you have a healthy engine without any underlying problems, you just need a supercharger kit and tuneable ECU. I think the Kraftwerks kit is the only one that will fit on the A3, you'll be deleting the A/C though. The other issue is that no one can really say what the trans can handle because no one ever does this. Since price doesn't matter, I would look into a turbo setup instead.

It's worth it. Anything supercharged is cool and fun.

Do the M62 type blowers not fit the A3?

That’s the same one used for the JRSC right? I read something about one of the pulleys not lining up correctly and requiring more work than it was worth. Some dude made a thread about it on here a while back.

Yes, that's the JR, CT, Merc Racing style that replaces the intake manifold.

That's interesting. I didn't realize that those weren't doable on the automatic. Hrmmm. 🤔

So's spending other peoples money! :devilish: I can tell ya right now it will burn that auto up. People seem to prefer the 5sp with these apps.
