but do you think that air coming back from the throttle body would mess up the reading at all?

The MAF is mounted right behing the filter and the bov right infront of the intercooler, set up to recirculate the air in a stock set up. So if any air did come out of the engine it would still have to pass by the MAF, but if air ever came back out of the intake manifold on a turbo car it would suprise the hell outta me. BTW yes a blow through system works very well I've seen many of them installed on turbo KA's on the net and have no prblems at all. I even think some Nissan racing GTR's rum blow through seet ups with a stock MAF.
