I know a guy in Austria who races Porsche 924's in rallys, and on his street car he did that, I'm pretty sure its on the side where the turbo is pushing the air, not sucking it, but If I rember ight it works both ways, jus diffrent sound.

Now why in the world would someone want to do that? Sounds kinda like putting playing cards in the spokes of your bike when you were a kid.
