The 378 tq is kinda low and that would drop to the 320's.

Im not trying to bash it, just dont want to see others think that is a good idea. Not worth it.

For what its worth...if you want to run filter-less on the A2A kit it will make over 600whp.

The customer is planing on running a turbo gaurd as they were three to four weeks behind when he contacted them to get one.

Is it a track car only then? Turbo guards protect just that, the turbo, they do nothing for keeping dust and other small debris out of the engine bay. My friend ran one and after a summer we pulled the intake off and you could wipe dirt off the sidewalls with your finger.

I would think this coats the intercooler fins internally also, decreasing efficiency.

Why not do an A2A and make that kind of power WITH a filter? He already lost CARB cert anyway. Plus he would pick up some torque and he could upgrade and make even more.
