RE: [DML] what kind of turbo?

[Dick Ryan <deloreanbiker@xxxx>]

This brings up an interesting question that one or
more of you may be able to answer.

Every supercharger I have seen blows the forced
induction right through the carb or into the throttle
body. Many turbo's do the same (the turbo in
question and the Legend engine in Marc's, plus 502). 
Harry Ward who had one of the first aftermarket
turbo'd cars was also a blow-thru.

HOWEVER, the BAE single turbo kit and the Turbo
Manifold Twin kit are "blow-by"; ie, the forced
induction is blown into the intake manifold to
supplement the air pulled into the throttle body.

WHY?

Is there a performance advantage of one approach over
the other? Or, does it have to do more with available
engine compartment space and/or the ease of hooking up
one system over the other. 

I'd sure like an educated response.
