Anyone recognize this turbo set up? Options

Serial, a system like that works fine and doesn't run hot if set up right and not over-boosted or run lean.

I definitely did not want to mess with ethanol injection and did not need it.
I limited my boost to around 7 psi but cranked it up to 9 psi a few times. It was happier around 7.
That was on the street on pump gas without additional cooler or oil cooler or anything else.
Unless you switch to a different induction you can forget about inter-cooling.
Your setup has fuel being mixed with the air and going into the turbo. that's already bad in that it can centrifuge out the fuel and cause puddling a little. It's manageable. but if you add an intercooler, you'll be giving the fuel an even better motivation to puddle and separate and pool, causing rich and lean spots which on a good/bad scale, are down near the bottom closer to bad.
Run it a little rich on top end, manage your timing so it isn't too advanced, keep the boost reasonable, and you'll have lots of fun without turning it into a hand grenade.

Chevrolet must have employed a Lot Of kooks back in the day..
That looks a lot Like a Corvair Turbo Setup with the Carter Carb
changed out for a Weber 45 DCOE 2 barrel side draft carb.
That was a popular upgrade on the Corvair Turbo’s along with the
bigger E Flow impeller in the Turbo.
A Simple design that Chevy was able To get 180hp out of
164 cubic inch displacement.
