I have 19t's and now I'm using the gm maf and tranlator in blow through. Can I run without any filter or pipes coming off the turbos or is this a bad idea.

Personally, I would never run a street car without some form of filter. If it was track only, maybe.
Its a bad idea. You need some sort of filter. Do you really want to chance a piece of dirt fucking up your turbos?
DR lost power runing open turbo inlets, think it was 40whp?.
Yea, I remember that. They need some form of tube to "guide" the flow of air into the inlet so it can get the most efficient supply.Quote:

You can do it without issue, i ran that way for 20k miles on the 9bs, however its not somtheing i would recommend, there is still a risk. However when i went to the track, i ran intake pipes up through the front bumper, and they make a difference for sure.
I forgot to put them in the first couple passes on the last time out with the car and i think i was trapping 124ish. With the intakes in i got in a few passes with 127mph traps.
yeah, i wouldn't do it on anything other than a track car. even then, i'm sure open turbos causes some kind of "vortex" effect without a pipe to it.
Thats almost like the kamikazee hurricane tsunami effect...lol YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.Quote:
