About the first thing... Haha... I don't really understand how the two throttle work. It's okay I will google it. But in short, what is the effect of putting throttle in front of turbo and putting throttle at the back of the turbo? Can tell?.
Throttle at the compressor inlet of a turbo, increases spool in response and eliminate the use of blow off valve as there's no surge due to sudden throttle close.
Like what we have, more stable compression.
About the second, the pipings can be fitted without leakage. Should be no problem I think. As those ram air intake have aluminium pipes for the intake air and a wrap-around heatshield. Can make quite a neat connection...
1st, when the compressor blows, we don't want to have restriction.
About small stones damaging the fins... Of course not just leaving it like that... But I've seen people wrapping the turbo inlet with some kind of net/mesh.
Then u are creating a double restriction to the turbo. Dust and sand will still be able to enter the fin... Still damages the compressor fins...
Those net's is used when they want their turbo to suck in huge amount of air and reduce restriction of air flow into the system, if u are using net/mesh, then why use filter still?
When dust accumulate on the "internal filter" and causes choke, which is basically not visible cause it's hidden, then only the piping line from compressor to the "internal filter" is compressed. After the filter, the the "internal filter", the air will be vacuumn. Then when ur turbo is pushing 2 bar, the air induced into the manifold would drop to maybe <1bar. Also, where u wanna locate ur BOV..? before or after the filter...
before filter, BOV alway open lor... Cause vacuumn tap from manifold, pulling it and compressed air pushing from bottom... continuous leaking... Then U'll achieve non stop BOV sound... Congratulation since u like noises alot.
after filter, will crease huge surge to ur compressor cause the compressed air before the filter has no where to go except to go opposite direction and enters the compressor again...
Do more reading please...
there's a reason why F1 bands the 1st.
There's also a reason why the filter is located there till today's automotive and motorsport.
