what is everyone running for a filter on the sheepey kit? im having a hell of a time finding something that will fit.
6266 turbo, with aluminum rad in the way

 

i searched and search and searched. There is only one option I could come up with besides making a custom one using screen and a dirtbike filter... Greddy airnix. The outer housing is still a bit too big, I had to trim about 1/4 of the fins off and re drill the radiator brace thing on the top so it would hold the radiator futher away from the air filter. It's a bit of a PITA to get the filter on and off but not horrible and WAY better than running no filter at all IMO.

 

 

Kn ru2510

 

That won't fit. I tried it.

 

damn that's a tight fit.. you're gonna need a filter 4 times bigger than that bro. I upgraded to a knn filter for $70. Rather than that small knn filter that came from the pfab elt kit. Best $70 I spent. Spools so much faster at 3600

 

the RU2510 was my next guess lol good to know it wont fit
right now I have the RD-6020, it fits "okay" but definitely will be checking it on a regular basis haha

 

What turbo are you running? Im on a pte 6062BB and it doesn't start to spool until 5000 and is fully spooled by 5300

I've never even tried running it without the filter so see what the difference would be....guess I should probably do that. LOL. May end up having to run a 4" pipe out of the engine bay into the fender well and locate a filter there if the spool is that much better

 

im running a gtx3076r. It spools quick with the pfab equal length manifold and a Bigg a. knn $70 filter. Filter is always recommended u don't want to sandblast your turbo blades.

I can't wait to go test pipe and full 3 inch exhaust. I have 3 in downpipe with 70mm hfc and 70 invidia q300 right now. I just might do the Berk 3inch single with 3 in test pipe... But it drones tho......

 

Don't believe the hype of a 3" exhaust man. I tested specifically for this. Right now I run a q300 and a 3" exhaust cutout. I tested back to back a q300 vs open 3" downpipe. Zero difference in power. There was a slight quicker spool up time but that was it. At higher boost level and power levels there may be a difference with a 3" but im at 508 and it didn't matter.

I don't run a cat so there would probably be some difference in power there vs a test pipe.
