I was reading an article other day, standard air boxes are designed for certain level of sound and economy. While the Short Ram Induction will economy suffer lower RPM and improve economy/performance mid-high RPM while the Cold Air Induction CAI (outside engine bay) will improve from low to high RPM.
So your Short Ram design style could have helped the flow of the air.
The amount of air that can flow through the air flow meter makes this mod pointless as max airflow through one filter will be greater than airflow through the maf. If u look at the guys doing big power they dont do things like this. You need to ask yourself why that is
"I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me"
I was referring to the majority of guy obviously there will be one or two people that would think its a great idea. Perhaps it is but look at the size of the turbo and distinct lack of maf where as on a small turbo low boost with maf there is no point as the maf is the restriction on the intake. the money spent on this could have gone to doing an exhaust system so your turbo can flow better or gone towards management or even a piggy back chip where there would be decent gains
Just out of interest here are some vids showing cold air induction and cone filters
