Default K&N air filter for turbo, what model do you use that flows enough?

I called Precision today and they said I would need an air filter that could flow 68 lb/min. So I went to K&N's site and found that a turbo that fits in my setup(Mini-me manifold, Bseries, EG) only flows around 450 cfm when I need around 850 cfm...

What filters are you guys using ?

I've got the RU2580, I believe that's it directly on te compressor housing on my 30r, works great

Not if it restricts the turbo though...

http://store.summitracing.com/...-2580

That thing is tiny...
2" inlet

I need a 3" inlet
http://store.summitracing.com/...-2820

This looks better as long as I have 6.5" available. I'll have to measure

Full-Race Stage2GT with AC - aka very little clearance.

It is a tight fit behind my PWR radiator but I had an aluminum peice built to allow me to fit this filter. One thing I noticed is that it had the hole in the top, guess that is for extra air flow? K&N also sells one that is the same dimensions but with two holes.

*EDIT* Disregard first post. I think my brother was mistaken as to which filter I was using.

not to jack the thread, but has anyone used the filter that comes on AEM Short ram or cold air intakes? I thought about using my short ram, cutting it up and using it as the intake to the turbo.

The apexi filter is the best but its expensive and I'm not sure if it will fit your turbo outlet.
