Pack2 - not sure whether you have your answer, or even if most of us really understand the question? I'm not sure what your 20,000hr are on, but 50kts 'across' (not THAT unusual) on jets equates to around 15 degs of drift to track outbound, and with the (recommended) correction on the procedure turn (?left? - assuming that is what you are trying to fly?) you should not go through the inbound track. If, of course, your time is on 'helos', the drift is a tad more!

'Correcting' tracks for wind, as stated above, gives ATC a headache and COULD infringe terrain clearances. Perhaps it will help us and ATC if you tell us where and what have you encountered as a problem?
