Yes so we can ignore the exhaust inlet and air outlet. The air inlet wants to climb the air, think of it as a propeller. If it was spun right up and let loose at high rpm (no housing or cover) it would launch forward at a high rate of speed.

Wouldn't the turbine do the same? It is expelling mass out the rear. That means the opposite force is forwards. So IF this is true, that means 1:1 drive to boost is irrelevant when it comes to axial thrust.
