Why does it need water cooling? Do other turbos? Why does the exhaust dump out the front of the engine? I understand turning the dump end of the exhaust manifold up, but why not leave it at the rear for simpler exhaust routing? How can it work blowing compressed air in under the carb? Wouldn't that just make the air go backwards up through the carb? Doesn't a turbo on a gas engine have to blow air down through the carb, which has to be sealed up enough not to let it leak out around the throttle and choke shafts?
I'll admit I don't know much about turbos, but I think about it from time to time because I have a neat little unused turbo sitting around.
