Message A differential of pressure (dP) is why air always flows from a high pressure area to a low pressure area. The turbo doesn't draw the air in, it merely creates a low pressure area and the prevailing barometric pressure is what forces the air to flow towards the turbo. The problem with the turbo inlet is you don't really want a large dP because it directly affects density and so a larger, more efficient duct is the only way to get closer to being the same as running no inlet duct at all. This isn't exactly a new concept.

Nice job with the inlets, I'm sure they'll do just what you claim they will... as long as they're more efficient than the stock ones are.
