what would be the consequences, if any, of having one or two very small thin bits of paper stuck on the inside of your air filter if they were to be sucked loose and into the intake? would they clog something up and b0ll0cks the engine or just burn up safely?

Paper would get burned up very quickly in your turbos, unlikely to cause any damage.

Chewie did something similar..

what if you used a vacumn cleaner thingy? would it damage it more? Obviously not stick it right up the turbo but a fair distance away with enough sucky to pull them out gently :)

pmsl, thought you were sticking bits of paper in ya intakes lol

im glad to say the filters have got nowhere near the car yet so my turbos are safe but i did consider having a crack at vacuuming them out if they were going to cause a problem when installed.
