Does a turbo mess up fuel injection?

I think I understand turbos and their theory fairly well. But, there are a few questions I have when it comes to installing a turbo on the new fuel injected Phazer. It has been mentioned that the Yamaha FI system is blind to A/F ratios because it only uses air temp & density for it calculations; no EGT or oxygen sensor. I know a lean A/F ratio will produce more power but bad things happen as a result.

1. Will the stock FI computer recognize the added boost and compensate?

2. Do turbo companies have a different computer or add-on/piggyback computer to allow more fuel?

3. Will the stock injectors handle the added requirements for 130-140hp?

4. If one were to install a turbo and do nothing to the fuel injection, what would happen?

Thanks for any clarrifications you can provide.

All aftermarket turbo/supercharger/nitrous systems come with some sort of fuel upgrade to match added air, the stock injectors are adequate in the lower boost kits and if the manufacturers where to produce a High boost kit they would provide larger injectors and fuel pump.
Yes the EFI kits come with a piggy back fuel controller.

4. = expired motor.
