Default Turbo, Injection, Carbs or TB's

Just wondering if anyone is running a turbo roadster. not necessarily a ford, but maybe a vauxhall bmw etc?

What are your preferences? I can se a turbo being a nightmare with regards to space, carbs have less problems and also cheaper to fit maintain.

Just after your thoughts.....

Mine is going to be turboed, as for space I haven't worked out where everything is gonna go yet!
I'll probably use a charge cooler as opposed to an intercooler to save a bit

There are a number of people building haynes and Locosts with Nissan SR20DET engines.

I have a twin turbo setup for my other Ford V6 , but it's on my XR4x4 engine at the moment.
