2 questions

[Mike]

k wat i wana do is get one of those huge dry flow aem filters or a big k&n filter and put that on the turbo then put duct work around it that leads to a scoop in the hood....and rap all the duct work with a type of thermal rap.... that doesnt really have to do with the questions but w/e

2 questions......which one do u guys think is a better filter the k&n or the new aem dryflows?

and wat size is the inlet of a 14b were the filter will be installed?

i know i prob dont need that size, prob may not even make a differnce..but dont destroy my fun there not that expesive....

go with k&N they make good filters

I wouldn't go with the K&N if I were you...you want to use a dry paper element filter like the AEM, those oils in the K&N and other wet filters have been known to cause problems with turbocharged engines. That's what I've not only read, but seen first hand. Dry paper element is the way to go, oh, and never use the foam element filters, they deteriorate and get sucked through the compressor blades, not good stuff.
Just my $.02

for turbo, i wouldnt even use a filter. i dont see the need for them, i use a screen, working fine for about 8 months

the inlet of a stock 14b is only 1 3/4", but dsms use pretty massive filters, ive got a stock dsm filter beside me and it is 5" tall -X- 6" thick -X- 7" wide! I have had good luck with both but k&n is the most reputable and you can get virtually any size!

thats a form of ruining my fun!...but that does seem cool (a lot less restrictive)

So you changed to a 14b. I personally would use a filter instead of a screen. You never know what kinda shit could get in there and fuck it up. Thats just me though.

[Mike]

wait....yea with the hood scoop idea im prob better off with a filter

which reminds me of a nother question ive been pondering for a while....wit that hood scoop idea...shouldnt i put a some piping befor the filter and put a bypass on that?? rain ??!

[juan]

what with the whole hood scoop thing?

I say just ditch that idea, whats the point?

but mike, the screen is not gona restrict you at all dude. trust me and the 100's of others on hmt and here that use a screen. It is perfectly fine like that.
