    Why not re-jet the carb you've already got?

    I'm sure someone will have a 25mm venturi knocking about if you want to revert it back to o.e spec & start off again from a known fuelling base...

    Ok, but the carb you're buying probably won't be fuelling correctly for the boost you're running, unless you're buying a standard spec carb & running o.e spec boost?

    If not, you're gonna be back to square one with the same issue.

    Re: need a new carb

    Think the first job mate would be to strip your carb and check what size main jet u have , air corrector , first stage jet ..... since its so lean on boost i doubt it if the second stage has been altered ........ then take things from there ...... what boost pressure u running and on what size turbo ???
