Carb. to Fuel Injection, any suggestions?

Right now I have an 87 turbo block, Cartech intercooler, 40 IDF Weber and T-76 turbo.

I am looking to do the TWM FI conversion and need to know what are the down sides if any about doing this type of thing.

Any help is appreciated, this is my first turbo car and I think am going off the deep end.

the first obvious one is that it is setup to run with two injectors, rather than four (i think).

Why would you want 2 instead of 4?

I would think you would get better throttle response with 4 small injectors and still have enough fuel for the top end.

COST!! Flat and simple. You WILL spend over four times the cost of the carb, just buying all of the stuff you need for the FI conversion. THEN you need to go have it tuned on a Dyno with a wide band.

TWM offers some of their throttle bodies with two AND four injector bungs, but since he is using a turbo block he has injector bungs on the center plate. In theory he could run six injectors. Why?? no clue!
