carb modifications are : different gaskets and different o-rings at the butterfly shafts in order to handle the pressure. appart from that you should get some bigger jets for your carbs to match the required fuel levels when under boost (otherwise your engine will run lean and start detonating...).

if i remeber correctly the carb turbo kit is available from cb performance.

Also look for a small turbo (small>nil lag thus better drivability for a daily driver) with an integrated wastegate (most OEM applications> easier to find and cheaper) and a seperate blow-off valve (that will protect your carbs and your engine from excecive boost pressures)
