Think that it would be possible to run a home made blow-through turbo on a CFI 5.0 engine?
Would the CFI unit need to sealed like a quad would? Would it even work up against a turbo?
I know that the turbo would be fine with the quad and a throttle-body, just wondering how the CFI would react to the boost. Not looking at a lot, three to five pounds to start. Just an experiment that I'd like to try since I have the bits and pieces already, kinda wondering though?
Any help, thoughts, ideas, cautions?
Thanks

Um, why? The CFI is hard to tune, has a very limited range of upgraded injectors, and will be a restriction to airflow after the turbo (raising boost and lessening CFM's/HP).
Especially when EFI 5.0 setups are cheap, are infinitely tunable even on the factory EEC-IV platform, have numerous injector options, and won't hinder the turbo's production.
Mostly 'cause I have a good running engine with the CGI in place, and a cellar full of turbo stuff and want to play around a bit and see what happens.
Either this engine is unique, or I'm extremely lucky, but it performs wonderfully with the stock CFI. Lots of pull and power, no stumble or break-up under load, a whole lot like a sorted out quad really.
Is there usually a big problem with the CFI as it seems to have a bad reputation . . . ?
Junk the CFI for a plain old sealed up 650DP and intake.... Enjoy! 
The CFI can work well when left dead stock. Most of the issues crop up when trying to make more performance with it.
Go carb or go EFI if you really want to turbo things.
Does the CFI work as a stand-alone unit with a module and power source or does it connect to a CPU/computer?
In other words, can the engine with the DFI attached be put into another car and made to run as it does in the stock Mustang without the need for a sub harness swap as well?
Kinda wondering, had a stupid idea . . . .
I know that a quad would possibly be a better choice, but with the CFI working perfectly and most carbs requiring a tuning sheet, jet kit, float conversion, fuel blocks or some such additional work depending on the "applicatiion," I sort of want to work with what's here and working well, you know?
