At first glance, it has a shape that reduces the air intake surface: It is feared a lack of power at high speed and at altitude, like a dirty air filter.
Not finished analyzing the thing but I have not yet found a confirmation of your point n ° 4.

From what I have seen in other documents, the turbulence induced by a "made to turbulate" valve is much more "powerful" than what can be created upstream like with a vortex. But precisely ... what do you need as turbulence to improve performance?

Normally turbulators and other vortices are in the category of "economizers" so the power at high speed who cares if it brings something in the range of use "economical" / close to the maximum torque speed.
