Are you talking about a mushroom style dry foam air filter?

did it look like this?



You can get them from HKS, JWT, or Trust/Greddy. It is just a different style filter.

I would only use that type of intake on the turbo inlet. Any type or foam or cone filter will dirty your MAF really bad. They are ok to use on a Turbo intake, since the turbo does not have MAF. Keep the stock airbox for now!!

Fail No. 1: You still need a MAFs even if you have a turbo, unless you switch to a standalone ECU and a MAP based system.

Fail No. 2: The whole benefit of a dry foam air filter like the one pictured above is the lack of oil. They will NOT get your MAFs dirty, they were designed as an alternative to oiled cotton filters like a K&N.

Fail No. 3: The problems of a dirty MAFs are so minimal that a bi yearly cleaning eliminates the problem entirely. The MAFs should be cleaned this often anyway, they get dirty regardless.

<< Has had an oiled K&N filter on a turbo engine with a MAFS for 4 years with absolutely no ill effects.

Try getting your facts straight before you post.

Connected at?

The turbo itself hangs of the exhaust manifold.

Any reputable intercooler kit should work well.

I would suggest the Greddy, or Blitz units. They have the best fit, and they will net you the best gains as far as efficiency, and heat dissipation are concerned.

Hopefully you can learn better than you can spell. If you look in the engine compartment it should tell you what you have in the car.
