Well I'm waiting on my standalne to arrive and just realized I won't be needing the afm. What kind of high flow filter should I mount to the turbo inlet? It's got a K&N on a aftermarket inlet pipe to turbo now. It's a bout 2 deg. outside now and dont feel like messing with it or measuring lol. Can someone tell me the size of the inlet or what they use? I have a BNR stage 1.

 

Any pics?

 

stay with the K&N IMO they are still the best filter around

Its the same as stock so its like 2.5 inch I think. Silicone hoses come in weird sizes I would measure the outside diameter of the inlet to get the right size.


Can't you just use the stuff you have now?

 

honestly I would'nt mount the filter right to the turbo I mean yeah it looks cool and all by why not run a cold air pipe from the front of the car to the turbo? that will draw in some cooler air into the front of the turbine instead of the HOT engine bay heat..

You shouldn't mount any filter on the turbo. You should use a TID to mount the filter where it can be closed off from the very hot underbonnet air. Mounted on the turbo it'll be sucking in air straight off the radiator...

 

:thread hyjack: ok im going to do the same thing but i have the shine auto sexy style hood to help pull hot air out of my engine bay. should i still make the tid?

 

word... thats what i was thinking, i hate it when people mount their filter right onto the turbo.

 

Don't turbos get hot enough to melt those suckers anyways?

 

not the inlet, at least ive never heard of it happening.
