Blow Through Dellorto

So I just dumped a bunch of money on the Dellorto 48mm side draft and racing beat intake with the intention of blowing through the carb. Does anyone know what you need to do to turbo prep the carb? I'm not looking for anything more than 10 or 11 psi, and I'm still working with a stock port 12A.

Contact Robert at Rotary Shack or start reading up on the VW sites on how to boost prep the carb.

I checked out CB, and they have the turbo emulsion tubes for the DRLA carbs, but not the DHLA (which is what I have... So I called the company, and they were wicked helpful, but they said that the guy who made the turbo emulsion tubes has fallen ill, and doesn't do it anymore. Other wise they would have been able to help me out... so they reffered me to a company located in Tennessee, and they were really helpful, but no longer did the dellorto parts... Agh! They told me to check out this site called "thesamba.com", because a lot of people post pics and are selling parts for them, but I can't seem to find the turbo emulsion tubes anywhere. Does anyone know of a site that goes through the sizes to drill out the holes on my existing emulsion tubes? I want to get this right, and I have some mechanical ability, so I'm not afraid to try... I just need some supporting information, so I don't totally mess it up... I wrote to robert from Rotary shack about prepping the carb too, but he hasn't written me back... I imagine he probably gets about a million messages all the time... I'm at a loss, I guess... I keep hitting dead ends... again, any info is very much appreciated... :-)
