Aha...
Does that air supply have to be pressurized?? I'm assuming clamping a filter to inlet wont do the job, that the air needs to come from the turbo outlet....
I cleaned my intake last week and it is like driving a different car, efficient and powerful...

I would rather not have to do that job again.. .

Thanks for the info...
