universal sports cone filter.

Post by V480TI » Fri Jan 30, 2009 7:36 pm

I wonder what diameter universal K&N or Green or whatever opensportsfilter I should get ???

And what parts to get rid of when mounting that sportsfilter in the engine bay ??

I know Green has a open sportsfilter suited for the 480 but is for the n/a engine.
Will this fit the turbo engine and will it do it's job properly ??

useless on a turbo engine, have tried one, stock housing and filter is way better. There is no performance in that. It might work on an N/A engine a bit, but not on a turbo.
