Turbo Intake hose/filter
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys,

First of many questions to come, I recently picked up my first Turbo Mini - Aaron/Rubicon's old car. There will be a build thread shortly, but just a quick question.

Currently there is no air filter or intake hose on the turbo - whats best to use for this? is standard silicone hose ok, or something more substantial?

Also any reccomendations on filters?

thanks for your help

Ben

I believe its a GT15 if that helps....

Can i clamp this down on the turbo or is it just for ducting?

Yeah you can use that straight from the turbo. I'm not sure on the size, but I think the gt17 are 51mm, my gt20 is anyway.

thanks guys, will measure up tonight to get the right size.

any opinion on filters?

Oops I assumed it was a standard setup.

I use a green cotton, they were available from avonbar before they closed, minispares do a k&n one but you may need a stainless hose reducer thing

I also use a green one, may be available from ian at avr. Cheers,dan

i use minispares turbo k&n with just a bigger bit of silicone hose squished between the 2 as i had it spare.

Air filter wise, If you're patient you can find some good deals on ebay.

I got a green cotton filter for a 206 for £20.
