what you think choke 48 ida question

I read on the RB site that they dont recommend the 48 IDA for a stock port.

Quote:

However, in a stock or street-ported engine this carburetor’s lack of a choke system makes it very cold-blooded, even in warm climates.

So i was thinking that the blow though turbo w/ 48 ida might provide a little choke to the system.

what you think?

it's ok for a stockport but it is BIG. It's a bit hard to get the car to start with it and I live where there is very warm weather year round. For turbo I have no idea...

It's not a problem to start until the temperature drops below about 50F. At that temp, the fuel can't atomize. The car just needs to warm up with your foot on the gas for about 5 minutes and then it's fine.
