If all is good and the entire build is voluntary, then yes, motor first, blower second.

I agree, although cost will come into play. The other thing to keep in mind, if it's time to replace the stock SC, depending on the situation, it's probably time to consider the engine as a whole. And Jan's rebuilt engines can handle are significantly stronger than stock. Then again everyone has different wants/needs/budgets; I'm just coming from what made he most sense to me personally.

It makes sense to replace a blown stock SC with a TVS, and keep the boost reasonable, especially if it's a street only car, there still will be gains. I look at it differently though, I'd rather have a 1.8 stroker on a stock blower than a stock engine with a TVS, that's just my personal preference, in that situation. Best of both worlds is to do both....

Still won't be faster than an X-1 though.
