For the best information about setting up a turbo, E.O. is as good as it gets around here. I am sure there are others also, but he can speak on the topic very well.
I just recently got involved with a turbo motor and am excited about it. One thing I know is, if you put a turbo on it, make sure the motor has a strong bottom end. Turbos don't know when to stop making power.

Those in the know seem to think the blow-through actually makes more power than the draw through. I would say there are a lot more draw-through set-ups available for less money.
The reason as I understand it, is the draw-through requires part of the volume of fuel-air mixture to go through the turbine, while the blow-through only require the volume going through the turbine to be air. Over-all, the primary factor is really what size turbine is being used. There are many out there that can explain it much better than me. I'm a newbie myself.

isnt that what a waste gate is for? my buddy has been putting 12lbs of boost on stock small blocks in cars for a long time and the bottomend never gives unless they bump it up to 16 psi.set the waste gate for the intended boost and it should be fine, im looking into putting a turbo on my stockish 454, its the most cost effective power available, im thinking i should run a wastegat regulating the boost to 8psi.

The way I interpret it With a draw through, the turbo draws fuel and air from the carburetor as a mixture and that must go through the turbo and then to the engine. If you have ever seen what a carburetor looks like (down the carburetor throat) when it is drawing a lot of air wide open, it will amaze you at how much fuel is added to the airstream. That fuel takes space from the amount of air that a turbo can ultimately pass through. On a blow-through the turbo can provide a flow of 100% air with fuel being added as it passes through the carburetor.
The end result ends up being 100% air volume plus fuel for blow-through or 100% air volume minus the fuel volume for draw through. There may be other factors also.
I don't know how much difference it can actually make.
THE BIG TURBO DONT HAVE SEALS TO KEEP THE FUEL OUT OF THE OIL THAT LUBES THE TURBO. RAJAY TURBO HAVE SEALS THAT WILL DO THIS. THE BIG TURBO ARE BUILT FOR DIESEL ENGINES THAT HAVE INJECTORS. THE CHEP TURBO ON EBAY HAVE NO SEALS THEY ARE MADE FOR EFI RICE BURNERS. I WANT TO BUILD A FAST EFI SET UP WITH INJECTORS IN THE INTAKE AND A 2000 CFM THROTTLE BODY IN PLACE OF THE CARB. I DONT WANT TO SPEND THE 4000 TO 5000 THAT IT WILL COST. EATHER SET UP WITH THE SAME CFM CARB WILL MAKE THE SAME HP + OR - A FEW. I AM GOING TO RUN A 850 ON E85 TO START WITH. I HAVE A 1050 TO TRY AFTER I GET THE SET UP GOING.
