5 GT Turbo Carburetor

I don't think it's the correct carb for the 5GTT. I looks very similar to the one I have for my R8 turbo build, but its hard to tell for sure unless you can see the other side. Here are pictures of mine.

The 5GTT version has the extra appendage on the side (in the second photo) which helps deal with the turbo pressurization. You should ask the vendor (as @andybond said).

I was shopping for a carb afew months ago and couldn't find the correct one, so i bought a used one from someone on the forum and rebuilt it. Someone on the forum probably has a rebuildable carb they would be willin to sell.
 
It would be too much work to make it be able to take boost. The only thing I can see that's even close to being a turbo carb is the base, as I've been looking at the repro ones wondering if the bases could be used. By too much work I mean fitting seals on the throttle spindle, sorting out the float chamber breather to take a boost reference. Far easier to source a turbo carb.
