12A Turbo Setup Question

Well, I had done a post sometime ago. I'm a new 1st gen RX-7 owner, and my car is currently in another state (Florida), and I'm gonna be back home October 3rd to begin working on my new baby. But, besides that.. I have been reading up a lot on turbocharging 12A's, and plan to turbocharge my 1980 RX-7. I'm curious as to how I would go about modifying a Holley carb to work with the "blowthrough" concept. I have read most of the faqs, but I have not seen any of them go into detail on how to go about this. Also, as I had promised in my last post. Here are the pictures of her... As you can see from the pictures, I am gonna have my hands full. The previous owner obviously abused her with that fart cannon. Also, I have a lot more pictures of it, and from what I can see. The only areas that are badly rusted look to be the hood, and a few parts of the engine.

if that holley isn't a double pumper then you can forget it. the car will run like junk. get a 4150 model 600cfm double pumper. and also talk to marques on here; know as mwatson. he's the holley pro
