I bought a "old school" turbo kit, in great shape, engineered for a carberated small block. Currently I am running a low comp (8.7) flat top pistons, with iron bowties, and a bluepringted 600-650 cfm four barrel. I am woundering, it already runs pig rich, and it bog just a little under full throttle in very low rpms(1600-1800). I checked virtually everything out but changing the vacume secondary spring. But know that I am going turbo I' not sure how much more fuel I should give her?
I was thinking 2 jet sizes up on the secondaries, and leaving the weaker springs in there sice boost build super quick on turbo applications relitive to superchargers?
Please any input, anyone running a turbo carbed sbc???
thanks

I was thinking 2 jet sizes up on the secondaries, and leaving the weaker springs in there since boost build super quick on turbo applications relative to superchargers?

Its mostly Ford guys, but they have a whole section on carbed turbos and also Chevys. Most of the folk there are pretty knowledgeable and help full too.
