Getting tired of buying these $80 BHAF filters from napa. Some friends of mine have the "spectre" long cone filters from auto zone in place of the air box and they seem to work just fine. But these are a lil too long to directly mount to the turbo (without using the intake tube). I found another spectre shorty filter, 4in diameter, about 7in or so long. I know it will fit but are there any risks doing this such as too much heat exposure from being so close to the motor? Seen it done on pullers but never on a DD.

Thanks

just make a half shield of sheet metal that clamps to it and blocks the heat from the engine side

whats wrong with the BHAF's

turbo mounted air filter = HOT, dirty air intake

Nothing. I just dont want to spend $78 if i can spend $20 and have the same effect.

Well I bought one and put it on. Boost went from 44 to about 47. Workin good so far. Whistles alot more.

running a turbo mount can cause MAJOR probs due to the higher amounts of suction I have seen 2 guys have there turbos eat there air filter because they were turbo mounts and DIRTY lack of air = more restriction = harder suction = air filter in turbo

ya no kidding you need to get the right BHAF there only 20-40

Yea i had the white one at the top. But as long as I make a heat shield, i dont see why i cant spend half the money, and get better performance.

how bout....spend 150 bucks on a used cold air setup with a k&n and never buy a filter again:confused013:

 

[Algae Eater]

Did you say K&N???
I thought they censored bad words on this forum.

Ya fuggin kiddin me right?

 

[OrangeP]

K&N type, ya know what i mean, a filter you can clean and re use. and no i dont have a k&n, its afe but they are al roughlyl the same in my book

 

[Algae Eater]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a douche.. K&N's (specifically) are notorious for lettin through lots of yucky stuff.

Friends don't let friends use K&N's.

What CFM does the BHAF flow? My turbo flows 1080 CFM at 81lbs. Most intakes that I have found only flow in the 600-700 range. Just seems that I am starving the truck for air. I got it, might as well use it... right
