After installing the new turbo inlet piping, im in need for a decent filter...
something which isnt small and restrictive, but then again a decent quality filter.
Ideally i dont want to be spending a bomb on one, so a reasonably priced one....
but the main criteria, it must be BIG-enough
Green cotton filters are amazing!
quite pricey though??
also, can't see any on the bay..?
Filter?! whats that again??
Just get something epically huge, larger surface area = more flow!

this is what im looking for... at the moment i've just bodged the standard filter onto the end of the 57mm tubing :|
cheers mark, its no need for anything special induction wise, the turbo will be sucking enough up as it is... just wary of trees going through there
Thats what I though, in which case either of those will be fine IMO, Dave (Ha11) has some videos somewhere of all sorts going through a turbo (i'm talking like entire paint brushes, gravel etc) and it was fine though

yeh i sort that one, thats insane... but still running a stock turbo im not tempted to risk that and having to change it over, when i can fork out a tenner for a filter 8-)
ran pipe-free the other day ... and ooohhh emm gee... the sound is worth re-locating the turbo

You want to hear mine, straight in the front of the turbo, TD04L, 30+ PSI, been accused of having a dump valve by 2 people now due to the noise, why relocate the turbo

because over on this remote part of the country, 120bhp+ is pointless, proved by the rolled beemers, civics, GTIs, VTEC's and the rest vaggagaya....
this is an island spec car
^^ nice find Jonny, and a post that isn't complete spam, I'm impressed
I don't always spam you know haha
Only 4 hours left too.. ginge! Get this!
I run a Supra twin turbo green cotton filter on mine. Flows enough air for 650hp of turbo petrol power... hasn't restricted me yet!
I run a supra turbo piper cross filter on my 1.4!
Adds like 50bhp!!!
Ginge has a ripspeed filter on his car... hes too cool

Rip speed decals and wheels go well!

dont judge me on a ripspeed oil breather - catch tank is on the way, it's temporary!

that oil filter breather will become blocked in about 2 seconds trust me, just run without one . . .

i would do but the current piping wont reach to the bottom of the engine and i dont fancy spraying my engine in oil!
as soon as the catch tank arrives i'll get it on

Dude TBH a £10 ebay special will be as good as anything else thats under £50.

Not sure I buy that mate. A cheap and cheerful air filter with small diameter simply won't be able to flow enough air for a decent size turbo on a non-throttled engine. Also, filtration will probably be non-existant.

Even the cheap ones these days have 70mm+ outlets and most have a second inverted cone in the top for extra filtration.
Yes the filtration isnt as good as an oem filter but then neither are most aftermarket ones.
Lets put it like this, on my SLDT running a maxxed 9mm gov modded bosch and T2 I noticed no gain in power when the filter was removed and the inlet wasnt exactly full of shite.
i ran de-filtered, and i ran with this new filter, and there is little, to no diffence in spool up - so im happy.
just looking at getting a vent installed for it now.
