Revisions

I have all but decided to flip the system around. If I keep going with the blow through I either have to de-tune the turbo even farther or find away to add measured amounts of fuel at boost. I have figured out several ways to do that, none of which are simple, elegant or foolproof. Also the carb is always pressurized, and how long will it stand up to that? On the other hand if I reverse the system and pull through the carb the fuel takes care of itself. Sure I will have to remote mount the turbo, remake throtel linkage and rebuild the turbo with carbon seals but in the long run it should work better with less risk. I do wish my turbo had bolt flanges on the pressure side rather than hoses because then I could bolt the carb on it directly. I wonder what those cost and how I would go about getting a new compressor side? If I have to rebuild the turbo anyway... don't tell the wife ok?
