Air intake at the front of the nacelle, ducted to the turbocharger way back behind the pilot and back up to the carb at the engine. Something like 15' of duct, intake to carb.
But then, turbo lag was not an issue at all.

Gorgeous car... and wheels. '67?

Even the big water would be safer with a skirt.

The -400 hasn't been 'new' for at least 10 years.

-8 is the current 747.

kinda, think of a engine sitting in backwards, air goes in the compressor at the rear and the turbines are at the front, the last turbine is free wheeling only connected to the propeller. works great on the pictured king air and countless other single and twin aircraft
