I was just wandering, all those guys with Single turbo, they don't even put the filter on. They just put some kind of metal mesh or something similar and that's it.

Why do we have to have filters then? Why can't we put the same thing on the primary turbo inlet and the 2nd turbo inlet piping? More air will get in there and there will be something for obstruction of bigger things and trash.

 

Its risky, what happens if a small rock goes through the mesh?

 

how's the rock going to get in there? Also that's why there is that mesh. It has holes like 1mm or less.

The reason i'm asking this is because apexi filters are gettin in the way for me now and I'm looking for a way out without spending $ on a different intake setup.

 

well... you need to be smart and not start the car while a rag or towell is sitting anywhere near the turbo.

or

bye bye pretty turbo!

 

my turbos are screwed anyway now. But i dont' see a way of getting a whole towel in there.

 

check the lounge, you can fit fingers in singles they have video proof. why don't you look into buying a second hand pettit cold intake kit its pretty friggin small... then sell the apex'i on the forum

 

What are they apexi filters gettin in the way of exactly...?

 

Fingers ???

 

my guess is a large SMIC... the positioning of the secondary intake filter doesn't really make it compatible with anything larger than the GReddy SMIC. it juts way out about a third of the way across the engine bay

 

yeah it's m2 large smic.
