Default question from an idiot

I don't know much about how a turbo works, but I bought one anyway/ my question is this/ other than a drop k/n air filter, does it make any sense to go further like add an air intake system? I've heard that for turbo engines it doesn't work or make sense. thanks much/ turbomangt

turbomangt all s/c,turbo and nos. motors love air. the more you can get in there the better you are. so yes add the air intake system. and also add a bigger tb too.
thanks cmypt

get the airaid intake system. you will get better mileage and a few more hp. just replacing the filter will only give you 1.5 miles better and 2hp at best.
airaid intake 149.00 hole thing
just filter 56.00 is the best i have seen it. reg.64.00
thanks cmypt

CMYPT,

Unless someone came out with one in the last few days, I don't believe any aftermarket dealer has the AirRaid or any other system for the Turbo yet. Do you know of one made for the Turbo?
