LoL the first turbocharger system I ever build was on a type 1. It used a holly 660 cfm center-squirter carb in a draw through configuration.

It idled well, it went like stink at WOT, everythin in-between was one giant BOG! Hey I was 17, what did I know about jetting for a turbo?

My brother had an old squareback and we chopped the roof 4" and filled in the rear windows to make a panel van out of it.
We put the type 1 in it even tho it stuck up through the floor. Kinda made the inside of the car stink with fume and oil smell, maybe a little carbon monoxide too, dunno.
It wasn't very streetable so eventually we stuck the engine in my brother's sand rail. It worked pretty good in that thing until he sold it and kept all the money for himself. Bastage.
