how much horse power can i get out of 1.8 with turbo and hi compression with dual carbs on it

259bazillion. HP depends on the tranny, the engine how much boost and other assorted bits but it would easily be 150 or more.

For the sake of making your life easier, I would ditch the carbs when doing a turbo setup.

Also, you want to lower the compression on the motor for boost so you don't blow headgaskets everytime you rev it unless you place on replacing all the internals with super nice bits and special made head gaskets.

Now, I've seen JH motors (standard 1.8l cabby motors) put down 200hp at the crank with nothing more then a decent turbo and running megasquirt/digi-1/SNS for fuel management. These builds were also with nothing special done to the motor aside from maybe a mild cam.

While I know boost can be done with carbs, I've not actually seen a setup with my own eyes, so I really can't direct you on that at all.
