I realize most guys here run STS kits. But for those who dont.

Any opinions on "mushroom" air filters for turbos.

Space is tight around my turbo, and running a 3" piece of pipe just doesnt work. Most guys relocated their battery to the bed, and put a cold air box in its place, but its still right next to the turbo.

I known the Supra & Skyline guys use these all the time, but i was wondering if any truck people use them??

 

Do you have a brand and part number or picture of what you are talking about?

I did the Google and didn't find anything.

 

hes talking about the filters that some import cars use i think hks and companies like that make them

 

HES TALKING ABOUT THE FILTERS LIKE THIS

 

 

i heard they suck, the foam gets sucked into the motor when it degrades. i think someone called them the mushroom of death lol.

 

seem to work ok for this guy:

never saw a TT setup like that one. i like it. although, gonna be a ton of heat at the front of the hood, and the intake pipe runs between them. hmmmm

 

That looks like a supra setup...that kind of filter is very common on those cars..

 

I like the K&N much better, but I see how they can give you more clearance.
