Thanks. It would probably work for mine too aside for the flange dia.

if 3" is too large a flange you're doing it wrong. You want the largest flanged air filter you can fit and then smoothly taper it down into the turbo for maximum airflowage.

There is a good story about filter area but I forget the details...
my friend was eager to use auto tune in his his new install.
he was still missing a good filter so he stuck a sweat sock over the pipe out of the TB (Yes a sock)
It did not get sucked into the motor and he went on to do a few tuning runs.
In the end the sock was way more restrictive than it seemed and the tuning was way off.
what stuck with me was that the motor reached quite a few less KPA with the darn sweat sock than without it.

My thoughts - exactly !
Even proximity of partitions intended to keep heat at bay such as the one I rigged up.
Unfortunately sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling.
One of the things that I noticed about the stock N/A was the coupling of the AFM to the filter box – it was a narrow molded curved thing that did remind me of a “straw”
