Another one I'm bringing back to the top. Have you read and researched this any more.
Well, unless you put the turbo in the rear, your headers need to go, or get cut up.
Build a remote mount setup. Then you keep your nice headers.
Blow through carb has its weirdness. Usually you'll be able to tune half your powerband.
Best way is to put the carb in a box and pressurize the whole thing. Not many ways to put tune able efi on an fe. Unless you do tb injection like holley projection.
Your motor will handle 5-6 psi easy. Just need to tune it safe.
