    Who says you can't use carbs with a turbo?

    R5Gtt springs to mind, I'm guessing there are 40's out there that can be turbo'd would be good.

    /\ agreed looked into this a bit a while ago and a couple of cars had carbs and turbos but its a fair amount of work to get the carbs to keep enough vacuum and fuel to keep the turbo going etc so it can be done just alot of work
