I subscribe to and read Hot Rod and several other related magazines and I see turbos added to gas fueled vehicles quite a bit.
Since modern gassers already have EFI run by an ECU, it seems to me a turbo could work. The manifold boost is limited by the waste gate, and if the ECU detects detonation, it compensates by retarding the ignition. Some of these hot rods already run compression ratios of 11:1, which I admit, seems awfully high.
I'm sure supercharging using a Roots type supercharger with a 1:1 drive ratio would almost certainly not work for this application.
Anyway, I was just asking if anyone has tried a turbo on a gasser.
