Hi, just some advice really.

Do i need a pretty large Air filter to reduce restriction or does the size of filter not matter, as the intake of the turbo is the restrictive bit anyway?

Im using a small IHI RHB5 turbo mounted close to the front grille on the flywheel cover. The intake almost pokes through the grille aperture. The turbo intake is 45mm OD, so i was looking for some small bike filters on ebay

are these going to be too small and restictive?
I don't suppose there is a test i can perform when i bolt one on.

Cheers
Chris

I'd say that's going to be to small. Just get a decent size K&N cone on there. :)

Buy these for a lawnmower... or a 2cv. Not a turbo mini.
