I'm thinking of getting a supercharger for my 2005 a4 and thinking do I need to upgrade my base brakes too?

nope, unless you want to put on ceramic pads.

On the street, not unless you just want to go for the visual effect. A supercharger doesn't maker the car go faster, it just gets faster quicker, so, the standard C6 brakes are fine for street applications. Might consider a set of good pads and rotors. Easier on the wallet than an entire system, especially one from a manufacturer like Brembo.

Brakes are designed to stop a car from its maximum speed, which I'm sure you will never see on the street. Stock brakes are fine, just put a better set of pads on there. Big brake upgrades are typically only needed on Euro and Asian stuff

I thought the brakes on my Trans Am were good until we got our GS. Upgrading brakes is never a bad idea.
