If it's a primary drag racing, then don't bother!

The screen is more bother than it's worth.

I've seen screens *sucked* into the turbo - it's not pretty!

If you're going to risk killing your turbo, you might as well not run anything in front...

id be tempted to build an air box, maybe kinda like the fd arc ones, where you can have a couple of panel filters

you wouldnt have a problem if you just rerouted that rad. hose. at least thats what it looks like from here

put a tube on the bottom turbo and put the filter way up front! think 4th demensionally!

About the rad hose,



I have a thermo housing with a male fitting welded on, and I am going to weld another fitting onto the top radiator inlet, and run a SS hose. That way i can make thoes tight bends with -12 270 radius fittings. When i get the money.

I made mine and still have a big roll of the screen for about $10.

Its not blue though, and mine is a little bit finer mesh.

When I first saw the pic of the space you have, the first thought that came to mind was why not relocate the rad hose. Re-route the inlet on the rad, that in my estimation would be easier.

can the rad lean forward a lil more? whats about a custom rad with the upper rad hose on the other end? seems like nothing will get on the hose's way.
