I've seen a dozen or so "draw through" carburator Setups, all drag strip "only" cars.
They all claimed no issues . . . . .
One advantage is that you do not need a BOV, main disadvantage I've heard concerns over is intake side turbo seals (suck the oil out) I have no Idea if they are founded or not.
I would "ass"ume that the turbo would vaporize fuel pretty darn well.

I have run water injection (10% fuel flow) pre turbo before with no ill effects (5k or so on the street) Vanes looked just the same.
