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.
