Home madecold air intake question

I cant find a lid to the air box of the turbo system I just got so I guess I will just delete it and make some thing.

I searched and there are a couple of threads but not much detailed info. It looks like the turbo boot is 3.5 inches ID so I will hit the local napa and get a 90 and a 45 and some straight pipe but what about the air filter? It looks like alll the filters I can find are 3 inch. What is everybody using? thanks

I really like the one with the red filter. the other is nice also but I cant see a need for such a big filter, it can still only get air in threw a 3.5 inch opening.

Has any one just put a filter at the turbo? I know it gets hot in there but it seems like it would be sucking the same air as the ones above because they are still in the engine bay and not ducted to the core support like the stock n/a.
