Naturally aspirated != carb.

You can have a naturally aspirated engine with electronic (even direct) injection, or a turbocharged engine with a carburetor, or any other combination.

True. Naturally aspirated simply refers to the lack of a turbocharger/supercharger pressurizing atmospheric air as "boost".

I just wish carbureted was an easier word to spell after not using it for months at time.
