I used 3/4" ID. I originally bought 5/8" ID but it wouldn't work with the fitting I had. I'm not sure about the pressure.

From what I've read, 3/4" is the size you need.

You could be getting some dusting. Check your air box and your intake tubes to see if they're cracked anywhere.

Wicked wheel totally cured my turbo surge. And it gives it a nice whistle as a bonus.

I'm not sure that the wheel like that will hurt but your intake seems to be letting dirt in and that is not good. Could be dusting the motor. I would ditch that intake ASAP.

If you looked over the tube and didn't see any cracks I think you should be good after you ditch the box. I don't know though. You might as well do the CCV mod while you're at that stuff. Only takes a piece of 4" exhaust and a clamp.
