If in the future you use a silvia side mount intercooler you may be able to use the intake as part of the piping. Other than that you may be able to use the filter adapter on your turbo setup. I have been using my AEM filter and adapter on my setup since the get go.

You could always put together a custom short ram intake on the passenger side of the car and save yourself the cost of a whole intake system.
