carbs actaully atomize fuel better at WOT than an EFI setup. the problem is most car guys from recent decades have no idea how to use or tune a carb effectively.the reason nearly everything made now has EFI is because its a more user friendly setup, and since its electronically controlled, things like DSC,ASR,ESP, etc etc can be used to control throttle and fueling imputs, where with a carb none of those “safety features” could function. both turbo’s and blowers can work, and work VERY WELL through a carburetor
