It only take one pebble to **** up your turbo...don't risk it....if you have to drive, then get some panty hoes or a mesh screen as a temporary solution until you can find a proper filter

I'd say he's getting very lucky!! don't run your turbo without ANY kind of filtering....a pebble is all it takes!
