Reet. I'm collecting parts ATM for a carb'd turbo. Currently I have bottom end, Renault 5 turbo carb, intercooler and a few other bits. I know this has been done before, at least I think, can't imagine I'm a pioneer. Anyhow, just wondering what experience other people have or advice etc. If the advice is along the lines of 'don't bother' then take your own advice. I'm aware of the limitations of the set up, and don't hope for injected-turbo outputs. But being as I'm not arsed by electrics, mapping etc, plus this being an exercise in shoestring-blowing (if you like), I'm just after a bit of knowledge. Currently the set up has cost me under £150, so if it goes tita, I've lost little.
So basically, what is required other than what's listed above
Turbo
Piping (including down-pipe)
Dump valve/actuator (if not integrated)
Induction system
G-head
Luck
Not sure what cam to use either. Standard cams, I've heard the gt works beat with a turbo. But a my fuelling won't be as good as injection, will the g40 cam hold it back like it would on a normal turbo? Or would the gt still be better? Not going for custom or turbo cams (see part about shoestring).
