I think I'm on the same page as you. SInce the car has a frontmount A-A intercooler and a very efficient turbo, i think breathing outside the engine compartment is less crucial.
Id rather have 10deg warmer ambient air with ZERO depression at the turbo inlet as opposed to ambient air with a 1psi loss thru the filterpipe. Makes for a lower pressure ratio and less charge heat. (tail chasing)
