Default MP T70 guys what filter?
What air filter air you guys using on your turbos? I tried the K&N off of my old LT1 but it was a hair to small.

Thanks

As of now, I have none. lol. I was thinking about running a 90* coupler off the turbo and utilize the ram air though.

i saw this also, i think it was posted here, it sucked the center cap out of the filter and ate up the turbine and i think it might have ruined the engine as well, i know the turbo was destroyed though

Does anyone see a problem with using a 4" to 3" reducer and just using a 3" pipe for the intake?

You don't want a reducer before the turbo. I have these on my TBSS and Syclone:

You'll need the 4" inlet for your T70, in either the 6" or 9" length (depending on how much room you have). And, they have the cone end for better flow.
