    HKS filter 100mm/4inch intake?

    How many people here using such filter directly attached to the turbo?

    the inside body of the filter is made from plastick and what chances are this to melt or chop off and to be suck by the turbo?

    I use one and have done for 35k miles

    the only issue I have where the jubilee clamps round the plastic tube it has kinked inwards with heat and pressure over time. So I'm making a stainless backing plate with stainless tube to go round the outside of it so there is no direct pressure on the plastic.

    And the only way you'll melt the plastic composite is to put a naked flame to it or a heavy duty heatgun or have it touching the exhaust manifold directly.

      I use one also. I had an AEM on there attached down low after a gentle 90 degree bend from the compressor inlet. The filters got very dirty very quickly and the AEM tried to suck itself inside out. The intake air was cooler though.







      This is my current setup. I've got a cold air shield that I'm rigging up that will be done when this thing hits the road again.

        If I remember right that tiny AEM filter is specsed to max 400hp, so no wonder that it's trying to suck itself shapeless on 600-700hp.
