Re:turbos and carburators
There is a big difference. You tune with jets instead of injectors and computers.

Re:turbos and carburators
Haha, yeah and jets are a son of a mother ****** to tune right. I swear as soon as the elevation changes by anything more than 50 feet you need to re-jet. 
Go down a steep hill, re-jet. Go up a steep hill, re-jet. Computers are so much easier.

Re:turbos and carburators
yes there is a difference, you need to either have a positive air carb setup, or you can be kind of ghetto and put the carb before the compressor so the compressor sucks the air/fuel mixture and atomizes it.
yes jets can be a pain in the ***, but jetting a carb isn't that big of a deal.

Re:turbos and carburators
as far as the basic mounting the turbo on the manifold and running cahrge pipe to the airbox/carb and hooking the oil lines is it all the same? and is there a jet(not any particular one) that i could run to make it rich enough all the time. i've seen turbos on bettles before, just curious how they do it without rejetting.

Re:turbos and carburators
why would you want to make it rich all the time? that's like taking a perfectly fuel ineffecient car and making it even more ineffecient. max boost has a pretty good chapter on carburated turbo set ups, you should buy that book, it's very good. it says a blow through is the only way to go with a turbo and you have to do some crap to make it work right.

Re:turbos and carburators
i wasn't sayin they don't jet them, i was just reading another post that said something about jetting them every time you go 50ft uphill or 50ft dwonhill. i might sound like a dumbass but i am not a carburator person. i don't know, maybe i'm too young. i'm just asking is there anyway to keep from doing this and be able to leave what jets are put in when it is tuned.
