I've heard of people doing that before but never have seen it.
I wonder why they wouldn't have believe it the first time, essentially it's doing what a supercharger does just on a simplified level.
I have seen people jerry-rig up nitrous systems on SVO Mustangs to just squirt or blow it into the air filter though it's not recommended.1995 "Driftwood Metallic" Cutlass Ciera

The vid of the people running N2O on that Metro vid that got posted up a while back had the nozzle sitting in the air filter case pointing down into the TB lol. That was another good vid. Like the common knowledge goes, anything over atmosphere is boost, even .5 psi is going to show a gain.-60v6's 2nd Jon M.

Screw messing around with turbos/superchargers. Let's all just go get leaf blowers. Can run our intake pipes into our cars and have the leaf blower sitting next to us with the smallest can of nazzz we can find. Then when we wanna race, pull the cord, hold the handle, open the bottle and push the throttle. Talk about mutli tasking...
Best thing about IAI (interior air intake) just have to turn on the A/C for the best cold air intake in town. (I think the 69* vent temp that we get with our A/C is a little better than the air off a black road with 100* temps...).
Okay, im done

Gotta love using AC for cold air intakes. haha. Its not even creating boost, but any amount of effort given to put air in the motor so that it doesn't have to work as hard to breathe will create hp. You would need more blowers on the bigger engines. That leafblower on a 4 stroke moped would be boost.Ben

My friend with his WS6 TA ram air said he was able to get 1 pound of boost at WOT over 100 mph with it being just N/A. He removed all the water ducts in the hood so it was basically a straight shot into the TB... But I still think he's full of it. But also kinda makes sense... Since at WOT you're at, or basically at 0 vac, then having all the air shoot directly into the intake manifold... might be possible. I dunno.

They don't call it ram air for nothing
