Hey Mick, first piece of advice is to buy a turbo book with a chapter on carbs and turbos. This will answer most of your questions, and give you ideas on how to set it up.

If you have any questions past that, i'll be happy to help out. Probably best to give me an email.

BTW, if you are chasing a carb, I am selling one of my old blow through carbs, among other things, check out the for sale section.

Yeah, thats a good book. Has a good section on everything.

If you are happy with the power of a piazza engine, then you should probably try and whack one in.
