Actually, a draw-through setup like that is fairly common in the world of 
turboed VWs.  I've actually seen more draw-throughs than 
blow-throughs.  Most factory turbos are draw-through designs, but most 
factory turbos are also FI...  Even at that, the fuel/air is passing 
through the turbo *so* fast that I don't think it would be much of a 
problem (unlike keeping the heads sealed!)
