Wondering what all you turboed 2.4L owners out there are doing for your intake.... I know alot are just using a mesh or somthing but i kind of want to use a filter as my engine bay gets VERY dusty and dirty and i dont want that stuff going threw the turbo and into the engine... but even so if your just using the mesh post some pictures so i can get an idea for what i am going to have to do.

given the location of the turbo, get a piece of screen and a hose clamp and get it good and tight over your compressor housing. No need for an air filter

well it would have to be a pretty tight weave to stop all the dust and dirt i get in my engine compartment from going threw the turbo and into the s/c'er then into the engine... I work on a construction site LOTS of dust and dirt and even when i use the truck for work and the car is only driven in the city it still gets VERY dusty and dirty in there and for the cheap price of a filter i don't know if i want to risk my engine over a $50 filter...

Well josh, you're not gonna risk your engine. I ran nothing for 6 months. Just took off my turbo and the fins had a few tiny nicks in them, but nothing even close to serious. The biggest drawback is the cleanliness of the oil. Gets dirty fast with no filter. I wouldn't worry about rocks though. Don't get my wrong, get a filter on there if you can. But if you can't, thats my input



Blew it up

^ How is your oil getting dirty because you don't have an air filter?

You are really going to have to design a custom intake, each setup is different. Mine can't have a filter on it because of how its mounted. Hopefully Brian will screw a screen on there before bolting it up this time

Adler - what turbo is that? and or where did you get that heat wrap?

98redcavz24 - yea i know im not worried about the rocks... its more the dirt that gets spit up into the engine bay... do you have any pictures of your engine bay?

It is a T3/T4 62-1compressor with a T3 .63 a/r turbine housing with a stage 5 turbine wheel inside. I cant remember from whom Mike purchased the heat wrap..

you can get one of those foam filters....they take up very little space. HKS makes them.

I believe in running a full filter and intake... lets me plug my catch can in somewhere.



That is the tightest of fits - trust me.
