The guy in the video is obviously an idiot. Vent shaped that like are based off of reverse NACA ducts. They are there to pull air out and not in. In their particular placement they are used (when actually functional) to pull high pressure air out of the wheel well to reduce lift and drag.

It can work but as stated it is all on a case by case basis. 2200 hp is moving a lot of air. You'd need a large opening and an even bigger pre-turbo plenum to keep any real positive pressure infront of the turbo...and you'd have to be moving FAST

Did you check out the Performance Friction rotors. They are bolt up, floating rotor units too and I think you can find them a bit cheaper.
