If you do that mate you might want to get a snorkel for your induction kit. Not a good idea, you would be better off with a proper cold air feed.

Without forcing air onto the induction cone using a mini scoop or similar you run the risk of the vent acting as a chimney therefore, all the hot air from around the turbo and downpipe will be dragged straight past the airfilter
