Heinz. As far as I can see that system would be able to get a relatively cool air intake but it would not be optimum for two reasons: firstly it is drawing air from and area of known turbulance, and secondly the intake length is very short and would do nothing to help flow. A properly tuned intake length will give a stack of air in constant flow (momentum) that will aid torque and power at the rpm desired by the designer.

I have even considered using one of the available airboxes over my throttle bodies and an intake tube leading over the radiator. That may even work better than a bonnet scoop.
