Turbo filter? sock?

Post by hgallegos915 »

Does anyone know where I can get one of those ITB sock filters for a turbo? My turbo is RIGHT on the firewall and the way I did my intercooler, i cant put a traditional cone filter... anyone?

I suggested to another guy a wire mesh tube with panyhose over it :P


I worked at a honeyhouse one summer, and they would dump all of the rack drippings (wax bits, bee bits, and lots of honey) straight into a pair of extra large pantyhose hanging from the ceiling. It was an excellent filter. And it looked hilarious to see a pair of fully stretched and filled pantyhose hanging from the ceiling.
