dont run a FMU, atleast get bigger injectors and AFC, or just AFC and uberdata to do it right, u mount the air intake fitler on the compressor side , where the blades are, a tube comes up fromt here and u mount it on the charge pipe, or just make a screen for it instead of a air filter

You could probably get away with the FMU but if you want to prolong the life of your engine and fuel delivery system, you'll do your engine a favor and atleast get a SAFC w/ 450cc injectors or uberdata w/ 450cc injectors.

Uberdata would be the best choice.

on my t3 turbo though, rather than having a piece sticking out like | } to put a air filter on and whatnot, mine is completely flat in front of the blades
