Well I installed my little HKS filter knock off. And turns out it barely fit. Well after closer examination I noticed my wastegate nipple has been owned by it. So now I dont know what to do. I cant fit a filter down there to save my life. Heres the pic of the mushroom filter.



So should I go no filter? Or screen mesh it or something? =\

 

Do ya want a rock in your turbo? go with a filter, im sure if ya go to a speed shop they will have different syles of size of filters

 

filters are for all-motor gays with cold air intakes... I use two layers of screen clamped over the inlet... works great

 

I think air filters are bad luck. The majority of people who blew something up are running air filters, I have no filter 11 psi no intercooler and beating the ---- out if it every day and its holding together. The day I put filters on it to "protect" the motor will probably be the day it gernades.

Its fucked up logic but its my theory

 

I would use SOMETHING. Screen or a filter, just don't go completely filterless.

What kind of mesh or filter type should I use? I'm pissed that the wastegate is fucked now lol.

 

Are there any really really really small k&n filters? I dont really wanna go no filter.



Thats my old setup. But I dont wanna go back to that because I need to rid myself of that radiator hose and go with actual pipes. =\

 

Go to an off-road motorcycle shop and look around for cone style filters. They have them for all kinds of quads. Fairly tiny.

Go filter used2baracer is just too hardcore for his own good some times

 

Actually I just found a place online that sells cone foam style filters for bikes. They have on with a 2 1/4 id inlet, 4inch length. I just gotta find out the width to see if itll clear my wastegate. =\
