is it possible to put an air filter directly on the inlet without any piping for it? i mean just clamp the filter right onto the turbo itself.

 

Yes, as long as you have space.

 

Yep, that's how a lot of people do it. Including myslef.

 

Don't get a cheap one though, you will suck the top in. Get a k&N

 

800+whp here through a 5" K&N.

 

Yea, a quality filter is a must. Thanks for the clarification guys.

 

i was just worried about the heat. i already ordered a k&n. you definitely pay for quality though, lol. thanks guys.

 

If I remember correctly someone did a little experiment a while back where they had a filter sitting right on the comp housing and measured iat's then piped the filter into the wheel well and measured iat's and there was no appreciable difference between the two. It was actuall a pretty spiffy setup to get it into the wheel well. Don't remember who did it though.

 

does anyone have pics of there eng bay with the filter for a AC kit. im thinkin i need a 90 degree elbow, how u guys do yours?
