Turbo carbie Setup Q..

Gidday,
Im going to have a Turbo setup on the car, and the deal I'm getting, comes with the webers, airbox and all the necessary goodies for running a Turbo on a carbie motor, 4zci manifold etc etc...What I wanna know is - Is it gonna eat my fuel like no tomorrow and should I just invest in the EFI conversion? Or keep the carbie setup as all the parts will be at my fingertips and save myself alot of piss farting around tryin to get EFI Kit, and having it wired up etc? Is it really worth changing to EFI just for the apparent sacrifice in less fuel consumption?
Well hope anyone can give some insight!

Thanks chaps

Okies,
Due to the War and Fuel Prices, I'll go with the carbie setup..
BUT....I want to run an Intercooler and Blow Off Valve aswell, so can this be done with the Carbie setup?

Thanks

yes on a blow through set up ie.run a cross over pipe
from the turbo on to a sealed box on top of the carbie

running the cooler (front mount) and stock compression you can run 10psi. one drawback of running a blow through carby set up is that you might blow the seals in the carby eventually... might be worth getting new seals in it before you bolt on the turbo... what carby are you running by the way?

The carby is a 34 ADM weber I am lead to believe, or something like that anyway! What carbie do you suggest I use?
