I see alot of race guys run no air filter on there turbos.Im wondering if for a race it would benefit to run no filter???Would it affect my A/F ratio??? thanx guys

It all depends if you want to risk it for that extra difference in power. On the d1sc procharger kits for the fbody, the intake is worth 75rwhp when taken off at high power levels.

With a big turbo like yours, if anything gets in there while under high boost its going to make some mega carnage.

If you watch the vid Parish posted, they did a dyno run back to back (1000 rwhp+) and saw no difference with or with out the air filter on his twins. So, unless you running really small air filters, then I would say, there is little to no gain in removing them and a lot to loose if you suck something in there

alot of guys will just use a screen, offers some protection from debree, but enough open area to give the most performance possible.
