The Ferrari has air-split valves under the front spoiler , at least in Barcelona .
But all that can be already changed tomorrow , because the teams stored massive data in Barcelona .As we know It's going bullet fast in the F1 technology .
From 5 hours ago :
Still no shipping for the HAAS cars , too bad ! Because they will miss the first test session from tomorrow .
Bad luck and a bad beginning for K.Magnussen ...Would love to see him on MAX's side ...
Who knows ...Maybe some day .

I don't think turbulence causes that issue, turbulent air isn't laminar so it wouldnt be able to accelerate the same and cause a massive pressure drop required for the venturi tunnels to work. So it would probably reduce down force preventing porpoising instead of causing it. So I don't think turbulence is the issue.
I'm not sure how valves would help either, I think you're talking about the flow conditioner under the front wing, but that's pretty normal among all of the teams and that's to generate the smooth Laminar flow teams want.
