In the early days of Tubo Conversions it was common practice to completely enclose the carb with a plenum chamber and put the boost into this chamber.
Assuming you can seal the throttle cable and the fuel inlet pipe is this still a valid way to convert a car from non turbo to turbo.
What are the disadvantages?

I've heard this done on Webers.

Basically its a way to mean there are no seals in the carb needed as there is no pressure differential from outside to in.

I'm sure you knew this.

I cant see any problems other than the hassle of getting to everything, tuning etc and the space it takes up. plus it must look a bit ugly! lol!

Ive seen pictures of it done....

but really, why bother !!!!!! Choose a carb that works without it lol.

its an extreme solution to the boost problem.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
