After a bit of advice guys. I've just brought a classic Scoob and the previous owner removed the inner wing air box to get the induction noise. My question is, does doing this have any positive or negative affects?

I think its better, better flow of air, less restriction.

Harvey Smith found that it increased turbulence in the air flow, confusing the MAF a little. Depends on what's replaced it I guess, just whipping it out probably a bad idea. I did have a replacement intake elbow by GP Moto that connected the intake duct to the filter box, but I took it out because I was worried it was making the turbo response a little spiky. The OEM snorkel evens out the air flow and helps trap water in the intake as well as reducing intake noise, but I think it's pretty marginal to be honest. I wouldn't worry about it too much

Thanks mate, there is nothing in the wing that has replaced it, it's just an empty hole, think I might try and put it back in as I'm not fan of the intake noise to be honest.
