putting a carb in place of the RE-EGI setup
Has anybody actually done a dyno or 1/4 run before and after this swap. I'm pretty sure I've reached the limits of the RE-EGI system and am wondering what sorta path I'm opening up by swapping to some sort of carb setup. Everything's done on the exit side, so I guess this is just the other side right. What sorta range are we looking at without more porting, and then, with porting, how far will it run before becoming fairly non-streetable?
...
i dont think that with only carb you gonna make more that 190hp unless you do a street port.

There's no point of going to a carb, that would be backdating the setup... Turbo on the EFI motor is one thing, but I'd be scared to put too much boost on high compression rotors... Personally I'll build a turbo 13B engine this winter, using a N/A FC block to start with, but I will use TII rotors, so higher boost can be applied.
If you build a turbo setup and want to use the car regulary, I'd use a rather small turbo. Maybe supercharging with a blower kit is another option?
What about a piggybacked extra fuel injection system?

it'd make more sense to do an engine swap rather than boost the stock gsl-se 13b

unless of course you suddenly realise you could throw on piggy back systems to do fuel management

i say turbo
i found a guy making custom turbo manifolds for gsl-se's for only $100 and bolts onto a TII turbo. So all you need is a muffler shop to make a custom downpipe and piping to a cheap small intercooler, up the fuel pressure and youve got a turbo for about $500
of course its only like 6 pounds of boost but it will make some good power.

HOWEVER, what's the info on this GSL-SE turbo manifold! $100! I'm interested! Log style or tubular/runner/header style?

You're running stock internals still? Howmuch boost? The rest is pretty much covered in your sig

its tubular and i offered to give out the guys info on this site but he doesnt want a big operation right now. on his personal car hes running 17 pounds of boost and he works at a place that mods porshe audi VW motors as well as makes supercharger kits for BMW's and he seemed really knowledgeable on the phone

Well, dig up some info on his setup, I'd definately be interested if he was up to the task of making another.
