might i suggest a small holley as they are easier to tune and get parts. Just be sure to keep an eye on the float as normally this needs to be filled with foam or an aluminium one used depending on boost pressure as they calapse under pressure otherwise.
I only have experience with turbo carby V8's and efi but i suppose the theory would be similar.
perhaps these may be better suited to forced induction, but do not expect to find a cheap solution.

In all honesty, if your turbocharging a car and not goin injection your wasting your time. Having played with plenty of turbocharged motors, injection is the only way to go.

Have a look at some of the VW sites. Most use the webers. Good for about 7psi blow-thru setup. Weber 32/36 with a pressure referenced fuel bowl and high pressure fuel pump with rising rate fuel reg will work. Just remember to knock your timing wayy back.

i haven't cad a carby turbo zook but i had a mate with a turbo 2 ltr escort with a webber, went well and was pretty good when it was set up. it did take some sorting out. biggest thing with a boosted carby is to get a boost reference fuel reg and set that right or inclose the whole carby.

holleys are very easy to work on and every one knows them.

why not use a stock carby and rejet? unless your going for all out power but as lat80n said injection is the best way to go

you don't need to do anything to the bowl on it if you run a boost ref reg and no more than 7psi. just make sure the carby is in good nik.

there are a few different types of malpassi regs.
the ones i know of are,
black EFI
silver EFI
double diapham carby type.
they still have the boost refrence rising rate but from a lower pressure

just drill a hole in the top of the fuel bowl, tap a thread, screw in an airline fitting, run airline to your boost. easy boost referenced carby. you may need to up your fuel pressure (or drop boost pressure) if you find that it is always leaning out
