You should give your Baja Bug a draw through carb boosted set-up. Just sayin...

I hope that isn't a real first-gen convertible somebody's lowered/hacked up.

I believe that's a Hebmüller Cabriolet

Mix fuel into air then mixture through centrifuge = less than awesome.

I was thinking of the ramifications of having hot compressed fuel-air mixture in the intake at all times.

Less than ideal, but not less than awesome. It works fine for low boost applications, it's cheap and simple and doesn't require any fancy electronics. Most of those old muscle cars with blowers sticking out of their hoods are doing the exact same thing.

Disagree, those type of blowers do not work on a centrifugal principle. That is how a turbo works. A positive displacment setup is far different.
You are correct that it can work for low boost.

You aren't going to hit ignition pressures and temperatures. The real issue is you are spinning the air with will separate of at least stratify the mixture. So you will have lean air and rich air with the possibility of completely separating some of the fuel from the air and leave it as liquid fuel in the compressed side of the intake piping.
Carbs are never right and a turbo just compounds the issue. But in lower horsepower setup some like this can work.

I suppose my statement was a bit ambiguous. I meant the exact same thing in that they are both compressing an air fuel mixture rather than just air like in a fuel injected system. You are correct, in that the principals of operation are different.

Yeah the issue isn't the compression. The compression force may cause some fuel to return to liquid state, but the heating would also raise the pressure that would occur at, so it would be somewhat negated.
The issue is the force from spinning the mixture. You separate the heavy fuel from the lighter air. It creates lean and rich areas that are less than ideal.

Can someone explain to me, just what in the hell is going on here?

Another way to describe what Cloud is saying:
Think of a spinning washing machine. Its got a mixture of air and clothes, but the heavier clothes hug the wall and displace the air. The same thing happens to the gasoline in the turbo, playing mayhem on the mixture. Sure, some tuning could improve it, but its not gonna be a very consistent mixture through the rev range.
