         One of the nice things about flat-shifters (like the rally / 
British Touring Car / etc series cars use) is that the extra fuel that runs 
through the exhaust while the ignition is cut for shifting tends to ignite 
on the exhaust headers pre-turbo and keep the turbine moving at high rates 
of speed.  This coupled with the lack of compressor bypass/blow-off valves 
means that these cars maintain almost full boost during shifting.

         Consider building and installing a flat-shifter rather than 
implementing your needlessly complicated (but interesting and thoughtful, 
regardless of complexity) idea.  The result would be nearly identical in 
all situations other than dead-stop starts.
