I bought a 4" k&n filter but it was too long for my on3 ac delete kit. So I returned it and got a spectre shorter filter from Auto zone. I have heard not to use spectre but since I got done with my build I haven't gone wot for more than 2 seconds anyways.
K&N are "million mile" filters. You'll be surprised how much dirt comes out of one. I clean mine every year. Oil it lightly... and it will be good as new.
The screen idea is a horrible one if you street drive the car much. You suck TONS of dirt in the motor with a screen only. Id never run a screen on a street car.

Hmn ok, I will clean it out tonight then, and yes, I would never run a screen on it
Have you ever thought about running a Turbo Gaurd? They are the mesh type. I am running the same style. They also did a comparison test to K&N and they blew K&N outta the water. Just my $0.02

Blew K&N out of the water how? Certainly not filtration wise. Those don’t filter air worth a damn. Sure they will keep rocks and small animals out of the turbo, but you will suck in a TON Of dirt driving with that thing on the street. Great way to ruin the engine.
Few 1000 miles of street driving with a turbo guard…

Yeaaaa, this is a 95% street 5% strip car and I ain't rich enough to replace turbos/motors on a daily basis. The JY SBE life ain't for me.
I am gonna peruse the local auto shops and see if the local diesel shop will let me look at universal filters. I would like a large dry filter but for now the K&N is recharged and working.
Bigger isn't necessarily better, although it seems it should be. K&N has a chart that specifies CFM per filter.
Well, it's better than smaller i'll tell you that. Once I put the larger filter on my IAT's weren't screaming up like they were with the smaller filter although I also had a pipe ran to locate the element further away from the turbo and piping. My newer 5" doesn't have the same piping effect but my turbo isn't working as hard and my IAT's are fine. Filter is holding up fine too.
