Induction Bodywork

I’m starting to design and build a turkey pan for my MK I. Mine will be T shaped, and the body opening shaped similarly, to suit the blower and the throttle body / air filter configuration. I’m wanting to pretty much seal off the area between the bodywork and the window, but it occurs to me that, even so, this area may not actually see pressure. Or much pressure anyway. I note that the MK IIs went for more pronounced scoops, I assume for better air collection; maybe to solve this ‘problem’.

Does anyone know, or actually tested, to see if this area is pressurised under normal driving conditions? I’m trying to arrange a test myself, but maybe someone already has the answer? Has anyone done any work in this area?

Any help appreciated.
