Blow through turbo set up with propane????

posted this in the alt. fuel section also.
I know if you do a blow though set up with a carb'd gasoline engine you have to seal the carb up and replace the floats....but can I do a blow through set up with propane? ....Blowing boost through the mixer, will it handle the pressure?
Has anyone in here turbo'd their propane powered vehicle?

While I don't exactly know, i DO know that the fuel pressure of a carb. must increase as the boost increases. I would think this also applies to propane? Or is the propane line pressure already high enough?

well yeah you need more fuel with more air....but it takes some modding to keep the boost from spitting fuel out of the carb. Propane is a pressurized gas, you dont need a fuel pump for delivery. Im just hoping to find someone who has done/researched this...Im not finding anything. The propane mixer is alot simpler than a carb and I imagine (really hope) that all you have to do is run a boost reference to up the fuel delivery under boost.
The fact that anything coming to mind is simply theory doesnt help, since Ive never turbo'd a vehicle I have no practical. I just pay close attention when reading turbo posts
