I know this is such af a silly question, but i'm not too sure anymore.

As far as i know, nothing is affected if i attach a filter directly to the turbo compressor outlet.

Am I correct or should I manage to get a pipe coupled to the turbo and to the filter?

I'm asking becuase there is no room for me to have a intake pipe on the turbo in my bay. I bareley have room for anything.

But the real thing that concerns me is the heat. The new filter will probaby sit right behind the radiator fan. Is heat going to be a problem for my setup? I realize that the filter will be getting a lot of warm air.

 

good question, been wondering the same thing

i started to install my turbo set up last night. im so excited i havent gone to sleep and probably wont now. but yeah i need to know also..that on my list to get

 

I have the filter right on my turbo, been fine so far.. I have an UNI filter..

But I have heard of some that disentigrate and are sucked in the turbo, just inspect the filter regularly..

 

I just have some steel mesh over the intake part of my turbo. No room in my bay for a filter.

Its been good so far.

Yeah its fine. Just got some steel mesh (tiny holes....like a window screen) and clamped it onto the turbo.

Works perfect.

if you can run a filter you should, it increases surface area = more air.

 

What about heat?

its really not the best thing.. but hey, if you cant fit a filter... its the next best thing... but for myself.. i just dont run one (im careful in the rain and on dirt roads haha)

 

UNI Filters: cheap and easy. Not to mention quality.

It might seem to work fine now, but it's not good for the longevity of your turbo. Think about all the dust, sand and tiny debris that can be sucked in through steel mesh. Not good. Run a filter if you can.

 

i got a great idea for my filter for the turbo now, as soon as the turbo gets bolted on i wll show u guys what i mean

 

I run the greddy airnix works perfect. If you run just a netted filter it will be fine just watch out for dirty roads!!
