k&n filter and pre filter and you will be fine. I have a tonneau cover on mine. I cut a 4" hole in the bed and run a 90 silicone off the inlet of the turbo and run that up into the bed with a air filter durin the winter time. My theory, dont put too much thought into it!!!

The Biggest question is do you want daily driver functionality or a sweet show piece? My method works and shows as well as any i have ever been around, but at the cost of rendering the bed a usless piece of eye candy!

I have a T66 for it already.. Was just curious on how people set em up differently.. Also curios to how u set up the oiling system for that.. I was thinking my self of runnin a line from that piece where the oil filter is at to the turbo.. But hear I possibly need a booster pump for it..

You don't need a booster pump for the oil, you need a return pump to pump it back to the motor. The oil must gravity drain out if the turbo or be sucked, or it will backup and push out the seals into the turbo.

Good to know.. How much they usually run? They pretty easy to install? Or can I get away with mounting it high like the. S10 And just let it gravity drain back into the motor

The S10 has the wastegates set at 12.5 psi and to correct everyone my oil system is not just gravity return to the engine, the oil system is completely stand alone, it has a 8qt drysump tank with a electric RB racing pressure pump, it has a restrictor and my oil pressure is set about 27 psi with a restrictor, then it gravity feeds into the tank!

You cant mount it that far back and have it gravity drain unless its gunna be above your cab or something.

Your going to have to do a return pump or standalone oil system unless you front mount the turbo.
