Default no filter

i know its a bad idea, but what can happen to a turbo running a mesh screen instead of a filter? again i didn't/wouldn't do this, just seeing what the damage would be.

Over time, the blades will be chipped by the smallest of rocks. With something that spins over 100,000RPM, it doesn't take much for it to cause damage.

A Filter is always best.

If you do use a screen, make sure it's on tight and doesn't get sucked in.
