screen or filter??

There is no space for a longer filter. My t-78 has a 5 inch long filter(K&N) and I think im suffering air flow . Do guys know where I can get a screen for it instead of a filter??? thanks

If all you want is a steel mesh screen just make one for $5 (or less). Do you have a picture of your engine bay?

I have a screen on mine right now and I am going to change it for a filter, to much trash gets through the screen even with a filter elament between it. Just my $.02

heres one, My koyo radiador is already in the way. The radiaator is actually touching the filter. Im not sure if the pic will fit but it all I have. Nope to big to post, but the 5 inch filter is forced to fit. I might have to go back with the greddy filter.

Is there room to add a bend-pipe between the filter and turbocharger so that the filter doesn't have to be mounted longitudally infront of the turbo? Just an idea.

i have heard that a screen actually flows less that a large K&N filter!
Seems hard to believe, but i guess there was flow bench data avalible.
I plan on using a filter on my car mostly cause i like to be safe!

Get some Santoprene hose from mcmaster.com and remote-mount a filter.
