Has anyone converted, putting the carb on the inlet side of the turbo? draw through, this is the method I would prefer, has some disadvantages, but won't need a sealed carb, boost sensing restriction, or high pressure fuel supply, what I need to know is can the standard turbo take vacuum, does it have the oilseal on the inlet side, ta, Des.

Unless specified with suitable seals no turbo can run suck-thru for any length of time.

Whilst you may be doing away with the restrictor, you'll be unable to intercool, still need a high flow electric pump, still need a regulator for your hi-flow electric pump, etc...

By all means crack on, but it speaks volumes that OEM's all used blow through just before fuel injection took off...

you wont find a suitable turbo...

not really a viable option these days, besides a sealed carb is hardly a problem to get hold of!!!!
