It's not stupid if it works.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it doesn't work, and is quite stupid.

Probably doesn't make earth moving power, but an extra .5bar would make a pretty fun truck.

I had a similar setup on a I6 Chevelle. It made more power than the stock clutch would take. 5 psi does wonders if you have a decent amount of displacement.
In reply to Toyman! :
way back when CNG, compressed natural gas, was a thing here in NZ a friend built up a 1600 Mk11 Escort on dual fuel. I don't know where he got the turbo from but it was set up as a blow through the carb like the example above with the gas mixer upstream of the turbo. Waste gate was set to 2 psi which he figured wouldn't overwhelm the carb on petrol and trying to blow up the world on gas. On the dyno it produced 105 hp on petrol which was a little more than Henry claimed for a stocker but a whopping 220 at 35psi boost on gas... Not big numbers by modern standards but Escorts only weighed 2,000 pounds or so and a good rally tuned BDA was around the same hp.
