Since you're running a positive displacement supercharger no need for a torque converter. The only time you really need one is when you run a centrifugal.

Save your money and put it other mods. Several guys with the vmp/roush superchargers are running 10's 1/4ers with A6 and stock converter.

Well to be fair these are legitimate questions not unlike the ones that begin with "what's the best exhaust".

To install the supercharger they quoted me 10 hours seems a lil high when everyone is saying it's one of the easiest to install

I contacted Roush themselves and they said the same thing; 10 hour install job.

That's about right. Took us about 8-10 hours, including a break for beer

I think he's talking about the Edelbrock, which should be a little less, because there is no cutting or grinding.

I just installed a Roush phase 1 kit two weeks ago and could not be happier. The install went smoothly and the power gains are insane.
