Hi Martin,

On Chris's car the turbo draws air through the fuel flap first then compresses it into the inlet manifold. This is v. similar to the BAE kit.
In any case a rolling road session always advisable to ensure fuelling is spot on.

The fuelling should be no different if drawn through and pressurised on top. Some early turbo cars (like TVR) just encompassed the carburettor in a cast aluminium box. The air-correctors and emulsion tubes were altered for the difference in air pressure. Others like the mini janspeed system drew air through the SU carb whereas the Metro turbo the turbo pressurised the carb from above (and had a solenoid switch on the vent pipe/ fuel overflow at the base). Seems like different car makes tried different designs.

It's not a BAE kit then. If it blows air down through the metering flap, 
then god knows how they've got the fuelling to work. Both the Island and 
BAE kit (like Tony's) pull the air down through the metering flap and 
blow it back into the intake manifold.
