why do you want to turbo the carby engine? injection is cheap enough to do

i am in the progress of doing one now,
use the efi maniforld. get all the injector holes welded up. run gas research every thin. use a to3. and highflow manifold. http://teamnaturallyaspirated.freeforum ... =3304#3304

that is what we have so far mate. we run a big turbo to4e to make it got harder. 11psi it will run 210kw with this set up

you can buy a stainless high mount for around $200. check out http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/ theres heaps of info and manifolds on there. ive just got a gtech manifold for mine, and looks to be good quality. shold be up and running in a few weeks. as for the carby, it wouldnt be worth the effott. do a search for nutter as he's got a write up on here for a gas turbo set up

this will give you nearly step by step instructions on how to. I didn't cut corners though so my install is not cheap.
