Probably 20 years ago, Moss had a turbocharger kit for MGBs in their
catalog. And I would assume, since it was 20 years ago, that it was a
carb, not aftermarket FI. Anybody have a ~1984 catalog laying around?
As I remember it, there was a photograph of an installation, and it
looked like a beast. Also looked like it would light your shoes on
fire...
But it disappeared from the catalog, so I would assume there were some
problems with it -- maybe I'm wrong, and it only disappeared for cost
reasons.
Anyway, that's all I know -- it's been done. Successfully? Well,
that's the real question, isn't it?
