So I installed a BHAF a few weeks ago. Perfomarnce is way up from the little gasser cone filter I got just to keep it on the road.
I put a filter minder in the 3" tube that enters the stock ATS turbo.
But I'm pulling the filter minder all the way down, and the BHAF is brand new. What gives?
I have two thoughts:
1. BHAF doesnt flow enough for this engine at 13+lbs of boost. (There's a lot of speculation that this filter only flows about 430cfm but nobody seems to know at what pressure, which is the big question.)
2. My filter minder shouldn't be in the 3" tube. The filter comes with a 4" outlet but obviously our little turbo only has a 2.75" inlet so it has to be reduced somehow. And 3" *barely* clears the injector line in this config.
Would the filter minder have a more accurate reading if'n I moved it to the top of the filter itself? Just drill a hole in the black part at the top and jam her in there is my thought.
Point is I'm no flow-bench-geek and I want to know the most accurate space to put this thing.
Thanks all!
