Hot Rod article - how to mod a carb for boost

My point was, the number of draw-thru systems being built is, I think, small, compared with the number of blow-trhru projects out there. I don't remember seeing or hearing about many draw-thru systems lately, although they seem to work equally-well as the blow-thru's insofar as power-production is concerned.. Their main drawback is, nobody seems to want to run an intercooler with them because it becomes, basically,a bomb when full of pressurized air and fuel. KA-BOOM!!!!

You need to get out more and visit the VW bug forums. The drawthru setup is quite popular over there. You really don't need an intercooler with drawthru. The very act of mixing the fuel and air in the carb and running it thru the turbo produces a "liquid intercooler" which is just effective as an external intercooler. This is explained in MacInnes book.
