Default Turbo, Air Filter, and A/C....

I MIGHT be able to squeeze my turbo into my car with the a/c, but thus a new problem in the form of a filter. I can't stick on right on it and there's no room for a pipe to come off of it and bend somewhere. I see the mesh over the compressor inlet, but this is my daily driver too. I was thinking is it possible to inlay the mesh and make like a 1/4" pocket and put a foam or sponge in there then another mesh screen over that. Sound savvy? My Dad brought up a good point though because I was going to use packing foam that UPS uses, but he thinks it will suck into the turbine through the holes or suck up and kinda close from so much suction. Any ideas on my idea?

T3 on an EK. The filter would hit the a/c compressor. Seeing if I CAN keep a/c.
