Carb on a turbo engine???
Ok, i want to run a 13b on my dune buggy. I do not want to run efi or an ecu because of all of the sand and water there will be. Is it possible to run something like a 750 holly on a turbo engine? I have seen it done before, just wondering what you guys think. Or i can go with the Microtech Lt8 for 350 more than the carb setup. But then i would have to build a water proof box for the ecu.

draw through
Injection would be the ideal setup since it will allow use of an intercooler.
For a draw through setup the 750 Holley with vacuum secondaries would work OK.
You will need a decent electric fuel pump to feed the Holley.

Drawl through? why use that set up? You could use a turbo preped carb (basiclly the prep involved is putting sealent where just gaskets are and making sure you have plastic floats instead of brass), run the boost through an intercooler and up to the carb hat. get a good holley or aeromotive fuel pump, and a high quality boost sensitive FPR. Then your good to go.
