I'd love to use lpg and turbo's. 10 years ago I planned just this with efi but the dual fuel injectors I ordered never came on line. I planned an injector per runner and a holley carb base plate to act as my throttle assembly. I liked the lpg install because the engine runs really clean with no wet fuel blowby past the rings which in turn would have contaminated the oil in the sump. So you can rack up the miles with far less wear on the pistons. Also, lpg provides some additional cooling so you can wind up the boost or use a higher compression ratio or turbocharge/lpg an engine with a high compression ratio in the first place.

Downside is sooner or later the government will bugger it up for all of us.
