    I'm curious, what size is = your filter?  I have a K&N cylindrical style filter, that's 6" = long, and 3.5" diameter, and is made to fit over a 2.5" diameter = flange. 

            The one that I wrecked was cylindrical, 11" long, = 3.5" dia, 2.25" inlet, if I recall correctly. I'm at work = right now, working 10 days of 12 hr night shifts for a maintenance = shutdown- blaagghh!

            The one I have on order is a flat panel = 10"x4.125"x1.25".

 I wish I had some sort = of filter or screen between the turbo and intake.  A broken = compressor blade would ruin your day. 

        I've got one. I call it an intercooler. Seriously = though, I doubt anything will get through cooling tubes and it would = take allot of debris to completely plug it.
