Is it fine to fit K&N airfilter to turbo inlet directly ( without intake pipe )?

 

any one?

 

are you still on the stock MAF or have you converted to speed density? If your still on the stock MAF then no its not a good idea.

 

Yes on speed density!
Will I get better throttle response and turbo sound since the airfilter stick on the turbo?

 

The biggest issues I see is air quality at that location... It seems like the filter would heat soak and intake a lot hotter air at that position... I would use the intake pipe to keep positioned away from the radiator as much as possible...

Of course, you might want to log some IATs with both options to prove/disprove this thought.

 

Thanks man

 

Front facing turbo would be ok. Stock location not so much. Would just be sucking in a lot of hot air. Keep an intake pipe if its in stock location imo.
