Default Carburated turbo install?

Is it possible to install a turbo on a carburated car? What is involved? Any help on this would be cool.

Seeing as I'm probably one of the few people on this board who's ever owned a carbureted car before, the answer is yes. You can either either do blow-through or draw-through, the former being that the carburetor is after the turbo and the later is before. You need a carburetor that will be able to mix enough fuel in with the air.

Why do you ask?

Buy a mid-80s Maserati BiTurbo if you want a carbuerated turbo car.

If you want the turbo, spend the money to get the plumbing right.
