I see these on the air filter side and sometimes both sides.

The air flow through the engine bay is designed to be from the side vents upwards & exiting the vents in the engine cover, introducing another airflow in the opposite direction will have a negative effect. you'll slow the intake rate at the side vents. If you baffle around whatever induction filter you are running & isolate it from the engine bay air you may benefit a NA car but I can't see it making any difference to a turbo.
I can see a tsunami of rain getting down them so don't forget to allow drainage....
