[off topic]You ride at the sand dunes? Where at?[/off topic]
[on topic]I was just kidding about the 50ft up, re-jet thing. You just have to tune them for the altitude and it can be frustrating sometimes.[/on topic]

I have a ford escort with a weber dgv(down draft) carb. with the setup I had I didn't have to change a thing when I uped th boost. ran it from 5 to 17 psi you just need to make sure you have the right fuel pressure.

Got any pics of that? I'm curious to see what that looks like. How did it perform?

Re:turbos and carburators
I think he was just talking about tuning them n/a. Tuning two carbs sucks. I have seen turbo Banshees. They are ------- crazy. I have seen quite a few with nitrous. Those guys that ride them are nuts. They don't give a ---- if they eat ---- at 100+ in the dirt. 
The funny thing is most of those guys run Toomies and one little spill and your leg(s) is BBQ and you need a whole new $$$ exhaust system.

no, no turbo banshee, yet. sorry.
we usually ride in oregon, right near florence. or in rexburg idaho. rexburg is about 5 hours closer, but oregon has less rock.
