when a supercharger or turbocharger is installed, what needs to be done to the fuel system in order to better accomodate the new setup? like for instance, i assume that better fuel injectors are a good idea to prevent the air/fuel mixture from becoming too rich...
this may seem like a pretty fundamental question about forced induction, but i'm still in the learning stages...
any alterations to the fuel system?

Usually you go with bigger injectors so that the mixture dosent get too lean, and also so you can get more fuel in the engine faster so it would make more power. It also gives you the option to run more boost.
Ive also seen people putting fuel pressure regulators on their cars in order to increase the fuel rail pressure if they think they may be runing too lean. Then theres other stuff like in line fuel pumps that can put up the pressure to an insane amount if you're running sick amounts of horsepower. I saw a skyline once that had a fuel pump out of a f18 fighter jet.. thats funny.. If youre going with a reasonable set up then you might be intrested in bigger injectors and mabey a fuel pressure regulator, a fuel pump is not always a must.. I just have the mx3 one and I am at 11 psi..
