I have the stock 2.2 in my 88 mazda, and I was just wonder if any one knows of any way that I can turbo my truck and keep it carbed. I have a weber now. I can get the stock turbo and exhaust manifold off of a mx6 which I have access to. I would like to do just a blow through carb but I don't know if anyone even makes one for our trucks.

no one makes ANY turbo kits for our trucks. Blow through, draw through, EFI or otherwise.

You would have to use a draw through unless you modified the carb to be pressurized. A draw through system mounts the carb to the inlet of the turbo.

The problem with carbed turbo engines is the drivability. Since you can only essentailly tune a carb for a specific powerband, and not a range of driving, changing the fuel requirements by bolting on a turbo will make you tune it for maximum power, which hurts drivability, or for drivability, which hurts power.
Additionally, using a draw through setup is only really useful at low boost pressures. Same with a blow through, but for different reasons.

I guess what I am saying is, that everything worth doing is hard. Either convert it to EFI, or cobble together a carb'd turbo. There will be lots of people who will oversimplify and say you can add a turbo to anything, but in implementation things will get cloudy and they will disappear.
