Sounds iffy likely to blow seals in the carbs that are normally operating under partial vacuum. Turbos are usually used with injection systems. Superchargers can be used with the carbs before the supercharger.

As above, but I believe it's a bit different for a Blade engine...

Why can't you have a suck-through system on a turbo? Leakly-spindle syndrome on a supercharged system can be sorted that way.....

I got round leaking spindles by taking out the original bush and replacing it with one I made. All I did was smear a tiny bit of grease in the spindle (removed from the carb) and wrapped thread tightly over it till it was the right diameter for the bush hole. Then poured superglue on the thread and rubbed it in. The new bush is then just sanded smooth on the outside and fitted into the carb, fixed in place with a drop more glue. Perfect fit and absolutely no air leakage
