Air filter identification?

Hi everyone,

just need a little help, I have removed my air filter to wash the element (foam) however its all fellen to bits in my hand!!!!!! so I need a replacement foam!
But I have no idea what make the unit is? I have searched and searched but no results!
The unit runs the bov outlets to the back plate and the main inlets are one above the other also on the back plate. There are two blue wire mesh sections that the foam element is held between.

any ideas please check my photo link below

Many thanks
Adam K

R E Amemiya. Not sure who carrys them. Is it possible to just buy some foam of approximately the same density and trim it to fit yourself?

The fact that it fell apart in your hands is the exact reason why I would be replacing that with a normal paper style filter. Think what would have happened if the filter would have disintegrated into your intake...not good for the engine or the turbos.
