Turbo Air Filter

[shownomercy]

Lets do some brainstorming.

Current setup



So, the thought is, maybe take the filter and run it down out under the bumper/fender area.

Thoughts?

You may be pulling some hot air in from the radiator, but if you move it, the offset is that your turbo is going to have to combat the inlet. It's a give/take. I'd leave it as-is. That's a nice large filter too.

Just thinking out loud here, kinda wanna get a nice log of IATs then maybe move it so that the turbo gets cooler air.

Would be a 4" pipe with maybe one small bend to drop the filter down below the frame rail.

I see what you're after. That hole in the fender area is begging to be stuffed with some pipe. Nice long sweep mandrel bent four inch and I think you'll be fine. Hell you may even find just moving it over to the fender area (without the 90° down) will give you cooler temps without the extra friction.

Yea, its close and its def got to be colder air.

I was thinking a jog down and then out under frame rail, tack a bracket to the pipe and attach to frame rail.

Gotta see where I can source aluminum pipe.

if not... do a 90 down of the tubo and put the filter pointin down...


orrrrr


maybe som flat stock as a deflector or scoup that will focus air into the filter without relocating it

I would rather stick it into a cubby hole like the stock CAI would, cept on PAX side. Shielded from rain, puddles, tears of opti owners etc.
