Turbo/super added on w/ rebuild?

[BMWredneck]

Would anyone recommend getting a super/turbo charger installed when I get my engine rebuilt or should I just put a bigger engine with the turbo/super on it too.
When you put a turbo/super charger on there you dont have to upgrade yor drive train do you?

You don't have to upgrade your drivetrain but it would be recommended. Especially if your producing high power numbers you'll shred your clutch. When I have enough $ saved up I'm going to rebuild my engine and add a supercharger. It's better to build your system around a forced induction application than to add a f/i to a n/a car.

Just like AW said, build around the F/I and not the other way around. I have a built turbo'd nissan, never have any problems with it, and it was actually a daily driver for two summers. I've had friends who turbo'd civics, and go threw engines like underwear, good thing they are cheap and available engines. Point is, do it right the first time.
