You would be causing HUGE restriction to the turbo.

I would think that as long as the car is on there will be air in the tubes and a recirculating valve at the turbo will put air in too. But I really dont know.

Yeah, it doesn't really work like that. In layman's terms picture trying to suck out of a straw. The longer it is the harder it is to get air through it. Complicate things even further by adding turns and bends and you'll be choking off the compressor.
