are you planning for a future car? 15 year old and all. It will depend on what car and engine you have, so better for you to buy a car that will respond well to upgrades if you want it.
However, before even thinking on power mods, you should think on driving skiils first - know lots of underage guys that attend autoX with their parents, so they will be prepared when they go to the jungle that is the normal traffic.
Will stop now, i am in de-tox of forums and trying to be nice to newbies!

Re: SuperCharger or TurboCharger

Pretty much any kind of forced induction is going to cause stress on the engine. In the end, engine/fuel management and proper tuning is what's key to having a reliable car after adding any sort of F/I.

before you add power to a car, learn how to drive your car. Otherwise, you'll have a car that highly outdoes your driving skill and has a lot more potential to end up with bad results
