    I have been looking at air filters to buy for my turbo setup. From what i have read quite a few people are running the cheap spectre filters from autozone on high horse cars. That... scares me... lol

    Only size I could find to fit it with my weird placement. Either that or screens, and I won't be doing that anytime soon
