For anyone reading this thread who can't visualize why this is a bad idea from the simple replies:
A) You're putting something between the turbo and engine to catch possible parts flying from the engine. The piece or filter may become a flying particle long before your engine generates any.
B) Its an especially bad idea on a rotary given that under boost, 1700F temperatures can be easily seen on a decent tune (can you say melt-a-filter?)
C) A chipped turbine wheel is absolutely the LEAST of your worries should your engine let go.
D) Anything you DO put between the engine and turbo is going to decrease flow and therefore lower the overall capability of the turbo system you just installed. Quite counterproductive.
