Just stating that I have seen the effects on turbine blades of liquid droplets hitting them so I would certainly not recommend injecting water before the turbo. IIRC the Corvair had the arrangement of the turbo between the carb and the engine, as did a number of aftermarket turbo kits, perhaps there were problems making it work the other way around, either way I wouldn't want a carbureted vehicle.
