EliteMilk Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 mesh the turbo , fuck off the filter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 meshing = less area for air. plus i don't wanna run hardcoreunless i have to mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTS GAV Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 mesh will alow much more flow than any aftermarket filter on the market buddy, hence why they use them on extream hp drag motorsas said mesh it, had the same issue with my misses georgie on here , meshed hers and it a road car granted she dosnt go down dusty lanes etc just bypasses etc but it will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EliteMilk Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 better put than my quick reply ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 how can mesh over the turbo be more flowing than a filter? a filter is bigger plus its attatched to an open pipe the same size as the compressor inlet. mesh is covering the inlet. so reducing the size of the inlet. granted on big hp cars they run mesh porb to stop stones rather than dust. if i'm wrong then i'm wrong and i apologise but to me my explanation above seems logical.

Sparky Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 A filter is more restrictive that mesh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 surely a filter is alot safer tho for road use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTS GAV Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 read over what you have just written string you will realise your errorhounestly dude do you really thing the like of a kn filter is goin to be more free flowing than one layer of mesh??Think about it a kn type filter usses multi layers of mesh metal then cotton type then metal then foam type then metal etc etc all compacted, then you attach that to a pipe that is 9/10 of a 90deg angle right net to the compressor inlet, you really think this is goin to be less restictive than laying one fine layer of mesh directly over the conpressor inlet?? tust me dude it not. whats more free flowing on a turbo outlet an exhaust or no exhaust think about it dude.Also you dont find many stoned or pebbles on drag strips the mesh is purley there for dust etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GTS GAV Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 spark nos he stuff daz its all really deppendant on were it driven really main roads bypasses motorways etc your be fine but no country dust lanes etc georgi has ran hers like that for near on a year have checked the turbo inlet for grim dust nothing, checked the intake pipework for any sighns of debree also nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GTS GAV Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 String, over long periods of spirited driving your screamer pipe is goin to get mighty hot having it sat right next to the air intake to the blower is goin to give you some high intake temps with it sucking in super hot air, a good helping of heat wrap with solve this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitegv Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:X:RTQ:GB:1123ive got this, which is also an evolution.so unless im doing somehting wrong, my ext w/g will sit nearer the gearbox next to the de-cat. my screamer is about 8in long??
