Try it stoichiometrically:

Air flow must be proportional to fuel flow

Use a ratio of 15:1 (just easier that 14.7 reference value)
 so 1 gallon per hour (6 lbs) is 15*6 = 90 pounds/air per hour

Dry air at 1 STP = 0.0807 lbs/ft^3

so 90lbs of air = 1115 ft^3 per hour per gph = 18.6 ft^3 per min

Typical Rotax Fuel Flow =5 gph = 93 Ft^3/min Air flow

Air flow into manifold should not depend on turbo settings or anything
else directly except keeping mixture at proper ratio.
