steve1093 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Wish a meshed setup...wont't the turbo be sucking in warm air from the bay opposed to cooler air with a front mounted filter? Unsure whether to go meshed or filter with my td04??The turbo will heat the air anyway, that's the job of the intercooler to cool the air before it enters the engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 True but if the air is colder going in it will also be colder exiting the cooler Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unsure whether to go meshed or filter with my td04??I don't think it's worth the risk especially if you live near a beach or anything just takes one bit to ruin the turbo/engine least the filter can reach some cold air to the front Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I never understood the risks of running meshed. It seemed like too little a gain. When I picked my car up it had no filter, no idea how long it was like that for. But I agree, LOUD AS FOOK! I was going to concur on the cold air intake. Surely that cold air would get hot regardless and as people said, it's the job of the intercooler to cool it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Garrett + mesh = fail Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A good filter will actually increase the flow as you have a larger surface area to pull in air, so just mesh over the turbo is really not ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Siv's are for div's hahaha I'm sure if they were such a great idea HKS Blitz K&N Apexi would of stumbled across it before they invested their cash into their pointless filters.

SRchris Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I do ask myself well what about people that spend thousands on their velocity stacked supra with a £1500 Trust turbo. I ran mesh... but i always had a conscience of that shit and dirt was always being sucked in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I run a BOV and a air filter but the bov has quite a hard spring in it. mine dose sound a bit odd tho as im running fully sequential ignition and injection https://youtu.be/24Np1b4kRyA https://youtu.be/t63aGpthyKw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza1996 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I would say air filter stops all the shit getting sucked up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
