Arrow Carb question, whats your opinion?

I have a single Mikuni sidedraft carb, its jetted the way I like it and it has a wonderful throaty sound to it. I cant seem to find Mikuni's anymore in a sidedraft configuration. I am thinking about running a duel carb setup, I would really like to turbo the engine but with my porting and compression I don't think I can. If I run duel carbs I want sidedrafts. I dont know what would be a good carb to run in a duel setup, I would love another Mikuni. But I think I will have to either go with Dellorto's or Weber's and Dellorto's are hard to find. I can make my own intake so thats not a problem. So heres the question does anyone know if you get the sound like a mikuni out of a dellorto or a weber?
Also if I got a second engine preferably 12A and turbocharged it with a blow-thru setup, because of my porting and high compression would I net any real gain over the HP I get from this engine? And I ask this because I'm not all about HP unless its a HUGE gain and I would use a smaller turbo, I.E. something affordable. Because I love the sound of a sidedraft so much I dont feel like making huge sacrifices. Thanks for your input

You only have to buy a 48 IDA once as this carb will work fine from stock to P-Port application. It can be use for blow-thru also.
