Actually, the inlet air (we call it make-up air) flows backwards under boost (crankcase pressure is definitely positive). This is where the oil comes from, and why you might choose to put an oil catch can in. If it isn't plumbed to a slight vacuum source (the air box), it is venting to atmosphere....
