Blow through vs Draw through

I've seen a few nice blowthrough turbo setups done by forum members but never seen a draw through setup. Anyone running a draw through? What are the pros and cons and why aren't they more common?

I run the vintage and original Cartech drawthrough system, you can check my ancient posts for more info. The advantage is a really simple install with no carb mods since the carb is fooled into thinking its simply feeding a bigger engine so delivers more fuel. The downside is limited boost, on the order of 5-7 psi for safety since you can't cool the air mixture without condensing out the atomized fuel already within it.

Do a bit of research on Wayne Dyson and his old-school '90s set-ups..

These setups make good power but the old Rx4 13Bs don't seem to last to well..
