Is it ok that the intake is smaller than the actual inlet of the turbo? My shop said it would be ok, but i am not sure. I did see another set up on the board where they said the smaller piping didnt lose power, but i just want to make sure. Also does it matter if the filter is foam vs. something like the aem dry flow.

Here are pics for reference:




Thanks in Advance

 

once it's not toooo much smaller i would THINK it would be fine...in theory shouldn't the turbo pull as much air as it needs anyway?

 

I think its like 3in vs 2.5in. I Think your right about only pulling as much as it needs. I really want to make sure its ok though

 

Your probably loosing like .5hp, I wouldn't worry about it

 

Are you using your old greddy one? Thats how mine is set, but JE said I may want to change it if I start upping the boost but at 9 psi he did not think it was a big deal. You could just run a coupler to a filter. I got a used inline pro one for my car.

 

Yah i am using the old greddy one, i think i may rig something up. What do u guys do with the 2 hoses attached to the intake arm. I know one of them you can just put a filter on the valve cover, what about the second one?

 

just buy a cheap intake from pep boys 3" with a 45 degree bend and just put a good filter on it.

 

^^ Probably what im gonna do, There is two lines running to the intake arm, what do you do with those?
