Default Turbo inlet intake..!!

Alright so i finally joined the ranks with the HMT peeps, i'm boosted!! Anyway, i'm currently running no filter on the turbo inlet, and i'm paranoid as fawk. I tried slapping on a pipe ( i have a K & N filter) but the problem lies with the clutch slave cylinder. The line is in the way so it's hard to fit anything right there.

So what are you all using as a turbo filter?

I would use a straight ( i have a grip left over) but the slave cylinder line is almost right in front of the turbo inlet. Whatever i fab up to work for an intake pipe is gonna have to be hella bent upwards in order to clear the slave lines.....

Sickocivic on here, a local guy to me. He took a K&N filter and cut it in half so that it is only about 3"tall. Then he just put a metal cap on it with silicone so it won't leak, and he has a custom stubby K&N.

I use a UNI motorcycle filter... picked it up from my local Honda Motorcycle dealership...

UNI filters come in all shapes and sizes, most likely they make something that will fit you application...

Here's a picture of mine, it's 4" long with a 2.5" inlet...

LOL you said it, not me. HAHA. Speaking of intakes, let me highjack this thread by asking: CAI + turbo. Worth the benefits? Discuss.

Personally, I have no idea. Of course you could say 'the air is just gonna get hot anyways', but would it get just as hot as usual, or would the temp it increases to be dependent on the temp it is when it's sucked in the filter?
