Shiny if you would care to educate me a little here, there is something I don't understand. I get how a blower type super charger works with a carb on a car because the carb is on top and the blower pulls the air down through it.  Now with what you said about the turbo 5.0 wouldn't the carb be pressurized causing the float bowels to get pressurized causing no venturi effect and no fuel?  Is there some sort of carb that is designed to work with boost being "pushed" through it or something? Or do you just override the boost with higher fuel pressure and carbs that can take that?  Maybe a dumb question but I don't even know enough to know what to google to start to figure it out.  If you could maybe point me to some basic articles on boosting that would be cool if you don't want to type it all out.
