Any ideas why somebody would opt for a section of wire mesh jubilee clipped onto the turbo intake as opposed to a regular cone filter, surely this wouldn't provide anywhere near adequate filtration?

 

What are the pro's and con's of this set up?

 

 

 

 

Pro - fast air flow

Con - dead fly wings / legs / eye balls / arse flying around your Tub.

To be honest, when you think about all the crap that happens in your engine, burning, high temperatures its a very very dirty place.

 

I used to know a mechanic that used to remove the air filter on every car he ever serviced. He used to say that they are a fire risk as if the car back fired they could catch fire. Also he used to say that there was just no need for them. I can see his point of view. Good air flow without one, we always used to remove them from our moterbikes as well.

i have seen a Sock as an air filter before! Was good until the turbo tried to eat the sock lol!!!

 

Air filter and put a 2way Fan in the pipe to help push flow to turbo quicker. Look at Air Conditioner Systems for fans
