OK boys and girls,
I need an airfilter for my Rev 2 Turbo. Which one is best, why and where can I get one from? I've got a Greddy exhaust on at the mo but have an Apexi N1 coming. Oh, and a Trust TD 06 Turbo.
Thanks,
Dunc

Have a look at Jetex, cheap and pretty much identical to K&N! http://Jetex.co.uk/Jetexwebsite/index.html
Re: Filter for Turbo
I have an Apexi induction kit on my Rev 3 turbo. These are supposedly one of the better ones, I however dont like the noise it makes when you ease off the throttle (some times you have to ). It sounds like a farting noise. Everyone I have spoken to say the same thing. I maybe just too picky but I took my blitz dump valve off because I couldnt stand the noise lol.
Re: Filter for Turbo
The fart is easy to fix, it's not the filter that's making it though
It's the standard BOV that makes the noise, if you swap the plastic one way valve around the noise stops.

Re: Filter for Turbo
I've just put an Apexi power intake on my rev3 turbo. I love it! Sounds like the car has been brought alive. But then I love the dump valve sound and wasn't happy when my Blitz bov bust!
Re: Filter for Turbo
Thanks Michael,
You may well save me from putting the original filter & resonator back on.
The noise only started when put the induction kit on so of course I blamed that & after speaking to some peeps.
Where & what does the one-way valve look like? Does changing it around have any detrimental effects. If it was a one way valve it would have been that way for a reason?
Oh very nice car by the way, especially under the bonnet

Re: Filter for Turbo
I have the Apex-i on my Rev 3 turbo and i think it sounds fantastic but its hard to tell if it offers much of a performance gain without returning to the OE setup,sounds like a jet taking off though .Regards the farting noise you guys are speaking of.I was under the impression that this is air actually going back through the turbo and vibrating off the blades inside the shaft.I have a blitz dumpvalve fitted and dont get this noise at all,should i be hearing the flutter.
