what is the best way to get "turbo air" into the engine? the standard air cleaner assemble obviously woln't do it... i heard turbo city had something, can't rember what.. 
Are you running a blow-through or draw-through turbo?With draw-through setups, you may use whatever air cleaner fits the carb.
Blow-through setups are a bit different.
For the air cleaner, you'll need something that easily hooks up to a tube. I simply took the bit of tubing off a Mopar 2.5 Turbo that runs from the air box to the turbo inlet, and used a bit of exhaust pipe to get a K&N cylindrical filter on the end of it. In some applications, you may have room to stick a cone filter right on the turbo inlet. Or you could adapt the airbox off a modern fuel injected car and run some piping from it to the turbo. I'd like to see an old fashioned carb-style air cleaner stuck on the inlet of a turbo, but that may take some creative fabrication.
Then you have to get air from the turbo to the carb. You can enclose the carburetor in a box or put a "turbo hat" on the carb (basically an adapter where air flows in horizontally from a hose and exits downward to the carb flange). If you want to make a cleap turbo hat, you could take the filter out of a snorkel-type air cleaner, seal any flaps to bring in hot air for warming up, and bring the air in through the snorkel. Or even add a snorkel to an air cleaner that didn't have one.
