Air filter for T78 ...limited space
Ok, I have my “Kevlar “underwear on since I think I may get some grief for not using the search engine on this one . Just call me lazy 
but my question is what air filter are you using with your single set up? I have a T78 on my 3rd gen and the Greddy sponge filter, perhaps effective is butt ugly. I was thinking a Blitz or a K&N filter but the space is so limited. I relocated my RAD and have a front mount so the space from the turbo housing to the coolant hose is about 8 inches. Any ideas what will fit ?

This is what I use, which is an HKS product. I think it comes in different colors. Mines a tad bit nasty here in this pic, but got a nice clean one in now

Agreed, you could easily push 400F coming out of the turbo with that setup at modest boost levels.

Looks like the HKS Super Mega Flow might fit... And you could get a red filter... I think it would look great in there. You could also get more room by using a flexible coolant hose all the way from the top of the radiator to the bottom of the pump housing. You could then bring the coolant hose down and over at a steeper angle/turn. Is there a reason you can't do that?

Where are you guys getting the coupler for the filters. My HKS SMF unit did not come with one. It seems the ones i have found are 5-10 but shipping runs 20-25.
