air filter with a-spec long runner manifold?

I'm in need of an air filter for my turbo (gt3574) and since i dont have space to put a K&N normal filter or any other filter, its difficult to find a filter that will fit with my setup... what do you guys use? For the moment, i put a net on. My rad is really near the turbo so i really dont have any space.


thanks,

Max

If you take some measurements you can do a search on K7N's website and special order one. HKS makes a stubbby metalflow similar to Blitz but i'm not sure if that will be msall enough.

Hi Max:

If you radiator is that close to the turbo that is not a good place to draw air from. My suggestion is to use an extension coupler or pipe and find room for a filter someplace else.
