TBI 12A Turbo, ideas?

Okay, for some reason this idea came to me last night as i was trying to sleep, with rotors, and apex seals dancing through my head.

Would it be worth it to change over the carb to something like rotary shacks TBI efi system for the 12a, and then...turbo it. It seems simple enough to me so I know i must be missing something. What are your guys thoughts on the matter?

the actual pieces are simple enough... sure. but then wiring up your choice of ecu and tuning it is the real hassle. it can get expensive.

trust me, this has danced thru my head atleast a million times.... per day.....

but i'm very happy with my turbo carb setup so far. again, how much power you looking for?

I'm thinking around 230-250. I don't see a need for much more than that. I'm having a smoking issue and a "I don't wanna start" issue with my engine right now, so I'm thinking about a swap...who knows where the future will lead.
