    With a carb its called "blow thru" turbo since you are blowing compressed air down the carb from the top. There not very popular any more since EFI is all over and tuning is much easier for a lot of people with a laptop then wrenches.

    EFI turbo blows thru the manifold the same but the fuel is controlled by injectors etc. Changing our cars over to OBD1 means you can tune it with a computer.

    That should give you enough to /search with, Good luck
