I don't have alot of room to work with. GT35 w/ a 4" outer diameter inlet. what do you use for an air filter?

I have a short runner turbo mani, and large stock mount IC, so I don't see much options for routing it anywhere.

found these, seem pretty cool. I am considering stickin one on the turbo.

Since I to had an issue with space, I went with the HKS set up. I like the fact that the system uses a Venturi in the design of the filter which is great for leting the turbo breath.

We use the HKS SMF filters when there is very little room to work with. Works great, just costs a few more $$ than the average filter. Here is a link to the HKS website:

careful with those filters, the inner cap likes to come off and get sucked into your engine. i have nothing against autozone filters, im using one.. works great, but it has a flat one-piece top so dont have to worry about it getting sucked into the engine
