So recently my car has been feeling a bit sluggish and i noticed that my max boost readings were only about 4.5 lbs (down from about 7.7 right after system install). So I either was experiencing belt slip, had a boost leak or my filter was clogged. I really didn't want to remove the blower, so I cut the filter in half around it's circumference & pulled it out. Wow, super clogged, as you can see below (after only about 6 months of use). I then built a "turbo-guard" type of inlet screen out of 5/64" opening stainless (very strong) screen that I sourced from Summit. Now, i'm not sure how long I'm going to run w/ this setup b/c although it will certainly stop the large stuff from getting in, lots of smaller dirt will flow right through. But wow, what an improvement. I went for a quick test drive & was seeing between 9.5 & 10lbs of boost during 2nd gear pulls. Needless to say, the car feels waaay stronger.
