Here is Jim's official reply:

"No, we never have. In any case, I strongly recommend against a
carbureted turbo engine. They are difficult to tune and tend to be
erratic in performance. If you want a turbo, I suggest you buy a
wrecked turbo and transplant the engine/trans/PCM into your chassis. I
assure you that the mechanical problems with the installation are easier
than the tuning would be, and the results will likely be better.

Jim Mederer"

I replied that I strongly disagree, but since they have little confidence in their carb, neither do I. So I am boost prepping the Nikki instead.

I bet I don't get a reply.
