Demon,

The carb responds to differential in pressure. So in the "blow through"
application
the carb is sealed inside a pressurized box. Obviously the fuel pressure going
into
the box has to be about 3 psi above the turbo pressure.

Much simpler in this day and age to use fuel injection.

Cheers,

Tom Walter
