Be careful running that filter, your turbo being the size it is definitely has the power to suck part of the filer in (It’s been known to happen on larger turbos) ---

WTHire someone to go mop up my coolant on Main st. LOL I forgot to bleed the coolant system. Although still don’t think it is going to stay cool without a shroud anyhow. But I should probably bleed it first. ---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ---------- > [@Minglor](#): > > Fuck that filter. But we got to see value girl! Also im not saying the filter is big but don’t forget the size of my turbo…The base of that turbo is 8" lol the inlet is 6" It is way bigger then you would think. ---

I haven’t read the last page or so but in looking at the pics, you should probably be careful with that filter. ---

I am very concerned about the filter but since this is the first car I have ever looked at in my life I am unaware of potential issues and possible alternatives. Can you guys please do me a solid and make a spreadsheet(powerpoint OK) that lists all available options with pros and cons? Please include real world data and testing. Possibly a video. Otherwise I just don’t know what to do! ---
