Yeah got to agree is not the best solution, i have done it on mince for the time being untill i relocate to the bumper area, space is really tight.

Well the k24 turbo has been meshed for 4 years at least and i can say the mesh hasnt 'crumbled'.

never heard of this theory, you could always put some good stainles mesh. if you use it in dusty areas i wouldnt recomend mesghing it as it will suck everything.

a lot of people do it and have no problems at all with it,
me personally am not sure about having an extremely course "filter" right next to something that spins at over 50,000rpm, has very fine tolerances and bearings that have a tendances to fail at the best of times. After all would any of you stick a max power branded filter on the end of your turbo?
But like i said a lot of people do it without any problems, i think it will be more long term issues if anything

lol the theories some ppl come up with is impressive lol..
lets put it this way, in malta almost everybody runs filterless.. i have yet to see a turbo get damaged cause mesh is used...
iv had mesh on my turbos for the past 4years... never had a single problem, & malta is pretty dusty.. still no wear or dmg on the turbo

thats most probs because he didnt clamp it well...
cant see any probs with it, as long as its nice and tight...jap drag cars dont even run mesh, just fully open
im just curious as to why no one has said anything bout the air temps being sucked into turbo when using mesh,
as in if using the mesh it will suck in whatever air is around it at the time which could be very hot, i would have thought that a fairly coarse filter relocated to a source of colder air would be better then mesh.
