the Buick straight 8 shares intake ports in pairs. it's one of the great performance bottlenecks on the engine.
if you reverse flow the engine and feed the turbo off of what are now exh ports, i presume that the restricted port cross section wouldn't matter near as much.
this actually was done on a Buick, but on a Nailhead v8 dragster. it's really weird to see a exhaust stacks sticking out of the 'intake' valley. the intake ports are also a major restriction on the Nail.
