Daniel:

The advantage for me is all altitudes......  because I run WOT.  I would not choose to operate with a clogged, dirty air filter because it chokes off the air flow, so why would I choose to choke off the airflow with the throttle plate?  The engine doesn't know how the air flow is being restricted.

Think about it.

 George,
  Isn't the "improve the critical altitude" concept also true for normally
 aspirated engines?  Say if you normally cruise at 75% power... and you
 are at 5000 ft at 24X24 and you pull the ram air...your MAP goes up 1.5
 inches...in order to get back to 75% you pull the MAP back 1.5 inches to
 24???  So the advantage is above 8000 ft.  Right?
