May as well try to filter the air through a window screen instead. silvrbeastjr 07-26-2009, 02:35 PM i hear i should take the restrictor out of my turbo charger. "took the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little extra juice..." Phily 07-26-2009, 05:09 PM Plus it lets way too much dirt/dust in.

Get a BHAF instead. Much better solution to anything I know of.

Stick in stock rubber air inlet pipe, stick other end in filter and clamp. Filter rests on the fender more or less. Can make a heatshield if you want. Search BHAF for ideas.

It's huge, it's for the 500hp marine Cummins engines. This is what it looks like installed. http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww318/phily911diesel/2009002-1.jpg jensenkennels 07-27-2009, 12:06 PM Just think how much more effective it would be if it were shield from the heat off the turbo. Phantom1016 07-27-2009, 12:57 PM They sell heat sheilds, and there's a lot of forums where guys posted measurements to make your own heat sheild. Just search google, you'll find plenty.
