ya, rear facing scoop is almost always more functional...
it relieves heat from the motor, which is much more helpful than pushing in a bunch of dirt and bugs...
the only real function im aware of for a forward facing scoop is asthetics or if you have a top mount intercooler (like a subaru STI)

(ya that rediculously huge scoop on the STI actually has a purpose)

Let us know how that works out for you. My only thought is that your scoop is right in front of the vent intake for the cabin - I'd be interested to know how many fumes you're getting inside - I know that I'm already getting some in mine and I'm not sure if my wife would be too happy if there was any additional engine smells in there.
