Re: filter resticts boost/? (H-T)
It depends on the filter setup...
When I first put my turbo on I put a screen and a piece of fleece over my turbo intake and it would only boost like 4-5psi... then I took the fleece off there and put a filter on and whoa! 8 psi and much better spool characteristics..
If the filter is really small, clogged, or poorly designed, it could choke the turbo and not allow it to boost to its potential.
Either that or you have a boost leak somewhere.
