Yes, you can run the filter without doing the WW.
The filter is pretty simple. You take apart the stock breather box. It's only a few clips on top and 4 bolts. Two bolts on top and two inside the box. The bottom half of the box can stay and the filter just sits in the space that's left.
I used a 4" peice of 4" exhaust pipe and a SS clamp I got from a big rig shop to connect the boot to the filter. Kwikkordead was able to slide the intake boot right over the filter flange.
While you're doing it, you could do the CCV mod too.

Just don't try and work the engine hard because you will be alarmed by the chuffa chuffa chuffa chuffa sound that the turbo will make with a very heave engine load.
Plus the WW sounds so cool compared to the stock wheel.

The best description that I can give is a very rapid sound of a vacuum cleaner alternately stalling and grabbing some air and then stalling. Back and forth 2 or 3 times a second.

If you keep the ECU at Tow/Safe or stock and the RPM's around 2500 or more when pulling those big hills it will not stall. Also having the wastegate connected and operating will prevent it as well. I know that's not a popular option, but you don't want to have too much drive pressure on the exhaust side either. It will wreck the turbo bearings.

I don't know anyone that has blown a turbo due to surge - but I keep reading that it is very bad for the turbo. I would hate to find out that surge can destroy bearings or shatter the shaft (which is only about the size of a pencil). I can only imagine hard parts being sucked into my engine.
