Default turbo + filter=?

i was thinking about buying some ghetto ram intake off of ebay and chopping it. i would keep the vacuumm nipple for a catch can setup and of course enough to connect it to the turbo and the filter. anyone ever try this before?

pvc works well..just make sure you use the purple primer and clear glue made for bigger pvc..if you use the yellow ---- made for Cpvc it getts sloppy when it warms up and ---- will start moving on you

i thought u should only use a screen for a few runs down the track. i dont think its good for a daily driver u can still get like little particles that will eat away at the wheels. nothing will clean better than a filter. and besides if your using the screen thinking its gonna help spool faster your wrong. it will but not where u would even notice a diffrence. i read in a mag all the filter is doing is taking away .5 psi so its not that big of a deal. thats just my 2 cents on the screen thing.

i like my screen and not because i think it helps it spool quicker just because it's easy and it keeps the bigger stuff out. i have two filters i can use sitting here but just don't want to, figure if it does ---- up my turbo i can get another. kinda want a t-bird one anyways.
