pee vee 1 Posted April 28, 2008 i'd imagine things get pretty hot under there!! RS turbos are bad enough at causing heat related problems from the turbo.. and there is loads of space compaired to that lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A correctly sized filter will maybe cost you 1 or 2 bhp, I've actually tried this myself on a turbocharged car on the rolling road and it made less than a 1 bhp difference, thats on a 220bhp car. Mesh is nothing but a brick catcher IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bally 4 Posted April 28, 2008 No air filter ever on the turbo setup and never on the Tb' setup. Ourroads here are quite good now all paved and no real B'roads as you call them. All paved roads and no dust as per say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
