Filter or velocity stack for turbo street car
I have seen some people running velocity stacks on turbo cars and was just wondering if there would be noticeable benefit to this over a filter? I haven't seen a small enough filter to fit on a stack and sit in my engine bay either.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: Filter or velocity stack for turbo street car
i guess I asked the wrong question.

Does anyone know if a filter like this exists just shorter? I would like to run a flow stack unless it really isn't worth the time and money. Would it hurt to just change the filter to the velocity stack at the track then perhaps? Just wondering if there are any significant gains from this? I always run filter on turbo setups.

Blox makes a filter for the velocity stack theres even a k&n part number floating around. However I don't honestly think it will help that much for 60 bucks

Re: Filter or velocity stack for turbo street car
I'd just run a normal filter on the turbo if its a street car man, trust me... not worth the minimal horsepower by running it without a filter. the 1 time i decided to run mine without a filter to race my friends z06, something got sucked into and completely ruined a $600+ garrett t3/t4... plus the velocity stack/air filter combo kind of sounds like too much of a hassle to run for minimal benefits. just slap a good filter on it and call it a day

On the dyno with a car i tuned we saw no gains going from filter to no filter on same boost levels. Honestly even if it was a few whp you wont feel a few whp and your going to ruin you turbo and engine without one

Mac, it was an autozone paper oiled filter. we made first pull with filter on 18 psi made 406whp. with filter off made same power the next pull, intake temps were 4 degrees higher the second pull from heat soak but i dont think that would make a huge difference
