can i inject before the turbo?

i have a draw through carburated turbo vw.

can i inject meth/water through the turbo? will it eat my compressor wheel? or have any negative effect at all?

if i do it this way will i loose some of the effect?

should i use a larger nozzle to compensate for having to go through the hot turbo?

I'd inject after your intercooler if you're using one or just before you carburetor. Injecting into the turbo just sounds like a bad idea. I'm not the law on that but I'd imagine Devil's would tell you the same thing.

could you not make a plate with the injectors in it and mount it in/before/after the carb somewhere?

I am not a big fan of injection thru a turbo. To easy to inject to much and warp the turbo
