Even with me bringnig up the progressive carbs. twin side drafts are the most pleasing to the ear and to the throttle response, never mind power.

Alright....probably a stupid question, but can DCOEs be made functional as blow-through units?

Not stupid and yes, search turbo aircooled beetle by CB Performance.
The bowl vent/static air port is on the inlet face - so it makes it pretty easy to do. For really high boost levels you might want to replace the bowl covers, I think. There were some factory turbo DCOE cars, I think, with reinforced covers.

50 & 55mm DCO/SP's have a sealed throttle shaft on one side for use under pressure.

If you are really serious about doing a turbo pushrod motor, I think a second thought about DIY EFI might be worth it.
Especially for the money you'll spend on carbs vs. EFI and the tunability for boost.
