You're still just talking about ram air. As I said, I think it would be a lot more complex than that.
With the Kawasaki 750 Turbo in the 80s, some folks modded things to put a K&N-style cone filter on to the intake, bypassing the standard filter (presumably), and facing directly into the air flow, and I've seen such on other turbocharged bikes, but turbos are a bit different to normally aspirated engines, and I've no idea about the ins and outs of it. Standard air boxes seem to be quite sensitive when you get to such massively increased levels of air flow, as are carbs, which need other mods to make it work - upjetting etc, possibly even different carbs.
But I'm sure there are people here more knowledgeable about these things than I am!
