Ok let me first start by saying i am not turboed, in the spring i will be though.

ok so my buddy has a turboed gsr he just got and it came with that mesh covering on the turbo inlet like most people do when they drag or w.e. i know its more optimal power but how safe can it be?

I mean i think its fine for like a nice sunny day or weekend when u feel like gettin on it but its not something you would wanna do regularly right?

Just wanted some opinions cause he's asked me about it before, thanks guys

 

no its not something you want to do and will require you to run a standalone EMS.

not practical.... cool though but not practical

 

Not practical on our cars unless your MAF is on the charge pipe.

 

Definitely would not do it even though you have something over its still not filtering the air anywhere close to what an actual air filter would.

 

yeah not sure where his sensor is, never looked at it closely, i always told him to put a filter on but its a pretty ghetto car and theres ____ in the way so one wouldnt fit, we tried puttin a spare one on and there was ____ in the way

 

We will see how long it lasts... not long im guessing

 

GSR doesn't have a MAF sensor so it's okay.. they only have a MAP sensor - I was saying if YOU were to do it...

 

oh ok, the car has 95 k on it and the turbo has 5k hahaha he got it for 4 grand, has TONS of ____ in it though

off the top of my head:
coilovers, front and rear strut bars, black rims, 3" full exhaust, all gauges, brand new stage 2 clutch, turbo kit, front mount

 

The first car I ever really worked on was my buddy's '94 GSR. We turbo'd it with a Drag Gen 3 kit. It came with a 57trim T04E/T3 turbo.. the car made 271whp 181wtq at 6psi with a 3" exhaust.

 

yeah hes got a t3t4 on it at 8 pounds makes about 280 to the wheels, he is doin internals this winter and a new tune, thats his plans i should say lol

 

i have seen cars put stockings over the piping replacing the filter?

 

OH RLY?
