Turbo interest!

Every now and then, someone mentions dreaming of a turbo build. I "stumbled" across this, today, and thought it might be of interest to someone.

What sucks? The carb, the turbo or both? I suspect one would be doing a lot of research and experimentation to get the set-up to properly work possible more extensive than what Kevin did when building a QJet for his truck engine.
