^ An actual turbocharger, not just something that looks like one.
ABB model TPL-B. Good for about 37,000 HP, used in two-stroke marine diesels. Journal-bearing, incidentally.

Draw-through carbureted turbocharger systems mystify me.

The disadvantages of a draw-through setup are that the compressor oil seal is exposed to high vacuum during decel, and of course you are blowing fuel through the compressor which precludes intercooling and can be hilariously disastrous in the event of a backfire.
