I recently bought a 13B turbo from Chris Gentry .Chris did a really great job setting up the engine with a lot of nicely machined parts. The whole setup looks very well thought out and professional. In the current configuration, the throttle body is up stream of the turbo instead of downstream near the intake manifold (which is the more common configuration). Can anyone shed some light on the various advantages and disadvantages of these two different configurations?
Thanks

Glasair 13B turbo

Carbs with throttles are frequently placed upstream of the turbo.
Should work. 

I agree! Chris did and excellent packaging job.
You got a bargain whatever you paid.
