EDELBROCK conical Air Filter ruined my turbo.

[fraser]

Nb! Dont use edelbrock air filters. This piece of **** ruined my brand new gtx3076 gen2 turbo. And the filter was also brand new. The metal thing fell off about 2000rpm.
Can anybody make this sticky orsmth.

Really sorry for you! I'd be very very unhappy. What an absolute design flaw! On an N/A engine it could stick the throttle wide open or something also!


Have you contacted them allready?

Jase.

Thank god, engine is ok.
Yes i contacted them, but no answer....

Yikes that sucks.
I guess it will be hard to get Edelbrock to take any responsibility for it which makes it even worse.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm sure the cone filter users appreciate the information.

That is a nightmare hope you get some sort of result from the company but they will more likely try to wriggle out of responsibility, I watched a really interesting youtube vid last week basically advising not to use cone filters as they let way too much heated air into the system and lose you lots of BHP.
