225 turbo headers

When putting a turbo on the 225, what kind of work do you typically have to do as far as carburetion? I'm sure the little single-barrel wouldn't be able to keep up, but could it work with a double-barrel? And I'm curious about lower boost numbers, like 7-10 pounds.

Blow-thru carb modifications are not black magic, but they are not something I would try, myself.

There's a lot of information available on the Internet about this subject, and that's a good thing, because those modifications are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, I believe, to the longivity of any boosted, carbureted, engine that uses blow-thru methodology.

I am a brain-dead old fart who is JUST smart enough to know that the learning curve necessary to climb in order to achieve a properly-modified blow-thru carb is, realistically, beyond my reach.

I know that.

But, lots of other folks have tried it with good results.

Nobody's sayin' it can't be done.

I'm just not the guy...:banghead:
