I am well aware of how a turbo works with an EFI system, but how does it work with carbies? on a motor with twin webers for example? is there a plenum that goes over the trumpets? or is it plumbed in some other way?

any diagrams or explanations would be greatly appreciated :)

CARBS , not 'carbies' !

Here's a pic. Turbo, SU carb and airfilter dead easy to see so you can work it out :)

We'd come across it when mates son was thinking of home-bulding a turbo onto the Mini 1380 race engine he has. He went with a MG Metro Turbo complete setup instead ( on advice of me and his dad :) )
