Default Enclosed air filter box for turbo

I understand that w/ N/As, the most power made is from using a filter in an enclosed box, routed to the underside of the car (Mugen intake for ITR).

Does the same apply to a turbocharged engine?

If you can get air from outside the engine bay it's ideal. having the inlet in a high pressure spot like a foglight hole is even better.

The cooler the air the better, huge gains can be made with cooler IAT's in a FI app. Just make sure the airbox is large and you have a very large filter or you will be choking the engine up.

If it was restrictive it would, and if you used a shitty filter.
