Also When the air is blasting in there and the plate closes it will jusy over flow back out through where it came. With that vent it constantly has fresh air blowing past the filter. This way the car will always have crisp throttle response.

going on with what you were sayin soxfan, but adding in some more fun and a lot of imagination, if what your saying is true... what if you could somehow incorporate a hinged flap/door or a modded "blow-off" valve to that large opening so its got higher pressure when its accelerating to suck in the air from the scoop and then when you let off the throttle the "blow-off" door/valve will open juss like a turbo, hahaha... ya, it probably defeats the purpose of that battery cover cf piece and i know there probably isnt that much pressure to open and close something like that, but hey, it could be cool, hahaha
