Next replace the hose clamps on the boost pipes with T bar clamps, they hold up much better and can put a lot more force on them. I broke so many of the standard hose clamps when I was running my twins, boost pipes always popping off, no more issues with T bar clamps on the single turbo.
Yes and Yes...
I am running a filter. It was sitting in the garage when I took the pics.
The T-bolt clamps are on the way. The local performance shop didn't have enough to do my setup. I am running T-bolts on my 1st gen and know the issues of blowing clamps off.. I even blew a T-Bolt clamp off on the 1st gen But that animal is pushng 440 HP...
