what is the differance turbulance?
getting caught in a rain storm?

I have to ask, why would you want to install a scoop backwards? Obviously you know its the wrong way, even you said backwards. So what do you think the benefit would be? Drag racers discovered that at top speeds there was a benefit to the low pressure area at the windshield for the scoop so maybe if you mounted your scoop up on the bow backwards near the windshield UMMMM nevermind, LOL.

i see plenty of 100 mph + fountains running them backwards just curious why

quiter and you already have plenty of air intake with side vents on the fountain.
