Basically, i'm looking for a small-profile filter for setups with tight spaces. current setup as follow:

-full blown divided manifold
-precision 46mm wastegates x 2 (i think the kit was designed around the tial mvr's which are smaller than the precision 46mm?)

I've been using the trackforged turbo mesh screen, but after a short period of usage, the hardened plastic coupler is warping and deforming from the heat and is not longer proving usable. I'm thinking of taking the dive to the smaller tial mvr's, but don't want to go that route of dropping $500+ on wastegates when it won't allow me to use a filter any ways. Here's some pictures of what i'm working with:




I'd like not to run a mesh or screen over the turbo if i can prevent it. Thanks!

Edit: Forgot to mention this, but I ordered and tried a filter from K&n, a dimension that was recommended by fullblown which did not fit. i believe it was a 4 inch inlet with a 4 inch height? Very small, but the width alone prevented me from running it due to contacting the wastegate

 

I use a small apc filter on track days i remove it...not the best filter in the world but it fit in that tight space

 

You just answered your own question. Looks like the manifold was designed for tial mvr wastegates. The new style tial wastegates are much smaller.

 

From comparing a tial mvr to the precision I have, I believe the only clearance I gain is the height of the wastegate. The width of the body was pretty much the same which shouldn't give me the space I need.

Phil-got any pictures or a party number for that apc filter? Which waste gates are you running?

Another option is to run a smaller compressor cover (the "E" cover has a 3" inlet). Cheaper than buying new wastegates.

thanks for the help guys! one thing i forgot to mention in first post, i'm running a gt35r with the 4" inlet.

-jordann, i'm going to order that filter tomorrow and hope that it works for my setup. Thanks!

 

I've run this filter on several setups it works very well.

 

get some stainless wastegate lines
