Free power
All this costs is a little time. Probably not the best set up, but I think on an otherwise stock motor, it's wrth it. I immediately felt a difference.
So far cat delete, and modifed air box are my only mods, and I can finally hear my turbo.

If thats how you are running your air filter, your turbo isn't going to last long. Leaving it like that isn't filtering anything. I would also ditch that and go with a napa 6637 filter.

The seal between the airbox and filter is notorious for not sealing. At least having the snout on front of the airbox increases the chance that any dust getting into the snout will fall out of the airstream before it gets to the filter. Your set up increases the odds of sucking dust right through that "seal."
The 6637 swap is really no more work than what you've done here once you get the parts.

I wasn't aware that these seals are prone to failure. Either way, i'm gonna keep this set up until I can afford something better. I wasn't trying to pass this off as the ultimate set up. If you're stuck with the stock air box, it's an easy way to get more power out of it.

Anyone looking to eliminate their stock airbox should try this for kicks and let us know if they felt any difference.

You guys are right, if it seals super tight, i dont see a problem. All im saying is these engines suck ALOT of air. so if there is a little crack in that seal where the filter touches the top of the canister then dust is getting past that and going straight for the turbo. I had this intake on my truck when i bought it and both metal bolts holding the top piece down were stripped out and the seal was terrible. But that is my personal opinion and thats all it is. I apologize for trying to help you out on the 6637 mod.
