You're adding a very inefficient air restriction in front of another very inefficient (variable) air restriction.

Ideally, you'd want to have a variable venturi to meter airflow, but such things tend to be very expensive to create. There'd still be the issue of pumping losses due to intake vacuum formation, but the variable venturi would pretty much remove losses due to throttling.

Nice try, though.
