can a turbo carb be used on a non turbo engine?

and is the turbo inlet manifold the same as the manifold sold as part of a stage 1 kit?

if they are the same, that would be good, as i can sell them to my mate who is after them :)

Yes - but it doesn't flow aswell as a nat-asp carb becuase of a silly valve inthe butterfly.

No - and it probably wouldn't give the same power as a correct stg1 manifold.

the turbo inlet manifold has a thicker flange, about twice as thick as std.

you can just change the buttery fly like i did

the only advantage on the turbo manifold is that it is easier to get the manifold nuts off and wont do a lot for porformance

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas
