hey i was wondering how bad is it to run no filter on the turbo? i just put a bigger radiator in and i cant fit a filter anymore. i put a screen with a clamp over the turbo but im worried about dust and water. i know people run them with no filter all the time but jsut wondering what problems and occur. thanks.

 

I was wondering the same thing. It would make sense to use a filter at all times. I mean could you imagine a rock slapping up into the intake fins.... ghey

 

I been running a screen for 1 1/2 years on my turbo and it looks like ****. fins look like saw blades and its so black inside its not funny.
Lucky I plan to swap turbos soon, Ill never do this again to another turbo.

 

can't fit a pipe in there... sort of like an intake concept for your turbo?

 

Can you take a picture of the area you have to work with? Here is the filter we used. We thought we had no room for a filter. B16a, DA Integra chassis, Full Race exhaust manifold and a T4 GT3767S turbocharger. K&N had a solution for us.

i use that same K&n filter, works great

 

heh i have that exact filter setup for my gt2871r. my old turbo(first one) i used a screen and it was extremely dirty inside, but the car never really saw the road too much .

 

think that filter would work on my top mounted gt35r on a one-fab mani? 4" inlet...

 

I ran no filter or screen on a used turbo for a long *** time, it will turn all nasty mine had about 2oz of sand in it when it all said and done.. owe yea and a bent *** valve its NOT a good idea.. maybe screen for track days

 

on my new setup i didnt have a filter for about 3 months , then i decited to have a pipe made up because i couldnt fit just a strait filter on there .

 

dont u gain more hp having a pipe wiht a filter too? (correct me if im wrong)

 

yes ive herd that more than a few times , ive herd it helps preswirel the air before it enters the turbo.
