last post tonight..intake air filter VS. screen

[turboglenn]

how many of you run just a screen instead of a K&N filter on the street, and what are your pro and cons from personal exp.?

reason i ask is i'm thinking about swithching to just a screen on my daily driver..mainly for spool times...at least ntill i get a 50 trim or a 60 with a stage I turbine housing/wheel

well...off to bed...2 cars to tune tomorrow and gotta be on top of my game

Ummm...Your profile says you have a 57trim??????
So what do you have a turbonetics or a full garrett

Any filter is of such size and high-flow that there will be no gain from taking it off. Go ahead and open up a paper filter, and look at the area of it. The intake doesn't know it's there.

There is basically no difference other than you will be pulling in air from in the engine bay when you could use a pipe and filter and get air from outside that is cooler. You spool is going to be so tiny that it won't matter. You'll just suck a lot more dust in with a screen.

Well, it's a turbonetics hot side machined for a stage III wheel, with a to4e cold hosing with a 57 trim wheel (oil and water cooled center section), i built this turbo while taking my aprenticeship at majestic turbo in waco texas..most of their parts were sourced from turbonetics and the rest were re-furbed and modified from existing parts


My manifold is turbonetics though..
