Ok so i'm thinkin of cutting a majority of the plastic from the stock box....I will layout and cut under the filter, along the sides and possibly the bottom.

Then i will epoxy in this sweet S/S mesh we have at work....This stuff is strong enough to keep the structual integrity of the box....

I figure i can pull just as much air i kniw it will be warmer, but it should work ok........

Oh yea theres already a K+N dropin to......

Should i or not?

Plus gonna bendup a heat shield/water deflector to go around the 3 sides.......

 

just put a BHAF on and be done w/ it

 

Like............?

I know someone mentioned a bigA@@ Napa jammie but noone had the part #.......

Plus i'm cheap and i cant see how all the aftermarket filters will jam any more air in the turbo when the feed hose remains the same diam....?

Cheap to the sense that i fab all my own stuff......

 

Check out my air filter mod in my photo gallery. Not great, but it was a first time effort. Might give you some ideas.

 

.............Looks good ,,,,,,

Notice any diff with that setup?

 

the BHAF is like $30... the hose isn't the restriction, the filter and filter box are the restriction points.

Thanks..........I was just doin a search..........

 

Forrest..........I dont really see a bigger turbo anytime soon......My trans has got to be done first.

Probably a set of DD2's or something like that...

 

If your filter minder isn't pulling down you don't need more holes in your airbox.

I hole sawed a 3.5'' hole on the rear of my airbox and another in the firewall, hooked them together with 4'' RV dump hose. Poor man's Scotty. Cool outside air rather than underhood hot air.

 

if you want to hear the turbo doin' its job, you need more holes

 

There's no such thing as to much air. I've got a scotty 2 on my bone stock truck.
