"A company called Carbon Turbo"

That's "Carb and Turbo" (www.carbturbo.com)... but "Carbon Turbo" has many good jokes

A CA100 mixer and J or Cobra reg should be enough for a 1.8; I ran this setup on a 1.6 w/o trouble up to 6000 RPM. I'd also recommend the mixer->adapter->intake approach, as long as it's a metal adapter & not a hoaky rubber boot. If you're really adventurous and have good insurance, try plumbing the...

This is not the case with many electric EFI fuel pumps, which will create a nice gasoline kablooie in the same situation. I would place the solenoid af...
