I think most guys run the normal 3" inlet filters with an adapeter to fit it up to the turbo. also remember the bigger the filter the better. You want as little restriction as possible before the turbo.

"but you gotta have a filter unless you're just racing it. then you don't need one cause your motor will be fuked in a while anyways"

Re:Why people should use Air Filters w/ Turbos
Dude... I have a sh*t load of after market intake filters but they're all 2.5" and 3" diameter and my turbo inlet is only 1.75" I believe... at the most 2". So how do I make a adapter ? I don't think a muffler shop can take a piece of exhaust tube 1.75" and flange ( make bigger ) the other end to 3" can they ? Any ideas.

Use a motorcycle filter, the foam type. The inlet diameter is fairly small, around the size of the turbo inlet. U should also have no problem fitting it in there, since its so small. A silicon adaptor connecting the filter to the turbo inlet should work.

Re:Why people should use Air Filters w/ Turbos
I used the Panty hose method before I got real intake for my turbo setup. Another thing to keep in mind, hydrolocking or even getting alittle water on the turbo propellers could be the end.
I specially ordered mine from summittracing.com. I went to the k&n site and got the dimension I needed, 3"x10" long. It took two weeks to order but it fits perfectly under my header panel.
