OK, its time for some peer review.....
 
Who was it that asked for pictures of my air filter installation?
 
The alternate air source is a simple hinged flap which opens inward and has a lip to seal it and stop it opening outward. The theory is that the flap will close when the plenum is pressurized. If the air filter gets blocked, then the pressure change will open the flap and the turbo will draw air from inside the cowl.
 
Think it'll work?
John (Rusty - just look at the pictures)
