Fuel injection is much easier to deal with in a turbo application, because
you can more easily change your fuel maps to richen up with boost. With
port injection you also lose the risk of having a lean piston due to poor
distribution.
Believe me, most carbed turbos are bad news, hard to tune, prone to
detonation, etc. That is why Bu*ck got so hot in the 80s. Check out the
difference in reliability and power from and early 80s turbo carb Regal to a
Grand National.
As far as the fuel pumps go, most people use a regulator with a boost
connection. This raises the pressure in accordance with boost.
