Default RE: Does a turbine run better with inlet ducting

Its well documented that EDF's need a good free flow of air in fact more than the outlet, the radius of the inlets also has to be correct, turbines are a lot more efficient than EDF's and will take in as much air as they need to combust efficiently, what I am looking for is some implacable information on the efficiencies of an inlet duct compared to the Boomerang type of inlet.
