As the title says, I don't know where to get one or make one. Does anyone know where I can buy one or where I can get the parts to make one myself?

I would say find a filter that fits on your turbo itself...



Clamp that badboy on and you're good to go



At least, that seems to be the way most single's are setup based off the pictures I've seen (I'm still running the twins)

yeah most ppl just mount the filter right on the front, but i see no reason why you cant make an intake and get some cooler air in. you will have to fab it up yourself probably

you just need a cone filter to fit whatever size compressor inlet you have. Measure your compressor inlet.. it's probably somwhere between 3-5" then find a cone filter that is the same size. Autozone or any parts stores will have something that will work. Or i'm sure ebay has some filters too. It's not like there is only one way to do it, just get the right size. you're making it harder then it is bro

ok, hahaha. I just see people with all these longs pipes so I thought there was something else that I would have needed to do. Thanks for the help.

Don't run the air filter right on the turbo, you do realize how hot the air coming off the radiator is right? There is a good amount of power to be had be taking some time to get an ambient air intake..
