Default Draw through STS/remote mount turbo kit?

I am wondering if anybody else has played with or pondered the idea of mounting the throttle body at the inlet of the turbo in the back of the car between the filter and turbo inlet with extended harness wires and custom cable. This would keep the turbo from stopping everytime you shift and may give quicker response (M6 application)..."in theory"...I know there is an issue with carb setups and fuel puddling but this is EFI.

By not having the throttle blade block the air and stop the turbo it would just freespin between shifts because the air would not stop correct? (Llike putting your hand on a shopvac and letting it wind up there would be no resistance on the inlet because it us under vaccum. The exhaust also slows so this may be better than stopping the turbo????

Anyone think this is worth trying vs. having the TB under the hood or at the intake to stop the air???

Thank you.

If you have a leak in your boost piping then you are going to have an un-throttled engine!
