Definately blow through. Suck through puts live fuel air mixture through the turbo and plumbing, have a sneeze and good bye turbo. It also suffers from fuel puddling issues and the turbos require special bearing seals to keep the gasoline out of the oil. Blow though is far better and there are lots of cars out there using it in either EFI or carbed varieties.
