Whoa, custom make the piping if need be......but get a filter on that thing ASAP. You'll wish you had if that turbine gets intimate with a rock or something. Plus dirt is quite bad.

I'm a fan of DIY, so... naturally i would suggest you just order a mandrel "u" bend and cut it, weld it up or take it to a muff shop and have them weld it depending how you want the bend. i'm sure its well under $125.

yeah, get a filter for that thing and try to fab up your own arm.
the fit in my engine bay was very very tight. so i had to get
some rubber hosing which never melted surprisingly from home
depot and threw on the filter on the other side

It seems like common sense to me that you would just have to measure the inlet size for the turbo and order a filter with the same size flange....

Re: Turbo Filter Question??? (Hawkze_2.3)
I would definately get a filter on there ASAP... you don't know how much dust and junk you are sucking through the tight clearances in your turbo and into your intake manifold...
I used a UNI motorcycle filter on my car, which I bought from a parts store... it's small enough to fit in the small space I have to work with and filters the air really well... my turbo response actually improved when I switched from a screen like you are running to this filter...

This is the route I went. Used a K&N rc-2330 filter. 2in inlet, 3in filter tapers - 2in. Little sucker, but it fits in there and I'm not screened anymore.

Re: Turbo Filter Question??? (JRadRebel)
"the material we use is an orange flexible hose with a steel liner. If you
knowhere you want your filter to go, just figure out the length and we
will get a piece of material cut to length for you. I think it is
22$/foot fyi. If you have any other questions feel free to email me
back. Thanks!"-geoff
