I have experience with forced induction modifications.
In general, cars that come with a supercharger or turbocharger can be modified to make more power- and those modifications have little or no downside.
But adding forced induction to an engine is different.
I would not add a supercharger to your RS5. It wasn't designed for it- so what you get are niggling problems. And niggling problems in an expensive car like the RS5 are hard to get over for most people.

It's all about the tune and how you do your upkeep. I would never do it to my RS5, but I have a Turboed Infiniti G35 that I have no problems, since turboing 5 years ago. With low PSI, and the fact your going with a supercharger, will keep torque down so you have less problems than if you were going with a turbo(which likes to make lots of it down low...). All in all, if you have the money and a very good tuner that knows the ends and outs of this V8, go for it.
