I was looking through the turbo engine bay picture thread, seems like there are some guys using filters, and some are not. I can't imagine it is a good idea to run a turbo car on the street without having a filter over/in front of the compressor wheel.
It appears that most of the cars I see don't use a filter, but I've heard of this causing problems, how are you guys dealing with it? To those who do use a filter, there often isn't much room to slap a filter off of the end of your turbo, especially with twins.
Do you go with a smaller filter and protect your turbo, or let the turbo breathe and risk not using anything?
