Any of u guys runnin an air filter directly on the turbo? Whats yalls standpoint?

 

nuttin wrong with that as long as the temps in the engine bay arent too hot

 

I wonder if I could find one at one of my local stores. Unlikely.

 

You can find some Spectra filters at autozone. I wouldn't recommend them but you can run one.

 

Dont run an oiled filter and especially dont run a Spector. I have seen the turbo eat those on more than one occasion. My reccomendation, run a BHAF in place of the factory box, cheapest option out there and it does the job. Next step up from that would be the AFE Pro-Dry.

Oiled filters can cause lots of problems later on a turbo'd application, especially a Cummins, a K&N brand new out of the box actually plugged the grid heaters up on my grandfathers truck and caught fire warping the intake and rubber boot, luckily got it out in time but still, I'll never run an oiled filter on anything turbo'd again.

 

Oh wow. Thanks for the info guys

 

As much as I am a fan of K&N air filters I took mine off and went with the BHAF. the turbo was pulling the oil out of the filter and making a huge mess. I still think K&N are
great for gas engines.

 

I use a BHAF filter. Never had any issues with it

 

I have run a "wet" filter for 6 years will no problems as well as my old man.

 

ive had my afe oiled filter for a couple years and havent had any problems, a couple of my friends do too and no issues.
