well, look at it this way, carbi all u need is the carby. where as EFI, u need all the injuction, and a computer, theres a extra $1000, plue u will need it installed if u dont know how andother $400 and then dyno tuned another $400

if i hadnt gone the fj20 i would DEFFINALY gone blow threw on a g180 or g200
Very Happy
hope it helps gene

However do you want good drivability and fuel economy?

Carby turbos are harder to tune and obviously eat more fuel, I'm not saying that you shouldn't expect to use little fuel on a turbo car but carby turbos will eat more.

Just for mostly track car carby turbo seems like a great idea. For the street I'd save some more money and go injected.

The only prob in running a turbo through the carby is the fact that you will blow up the carby faster! But on the good side you can pick up a new carby cheep

Cheers
