Is it safe to run a velocity stack on a single turbo setup for a daily driver. Heres a pci below if some of you guys dont no what im talking about.

I wouldn't for a dd.

 

Not good on engine internals when there's no filtration, dust particles will get sucked in and shorten engine life. The gains are minimal and not worth the risk to daily.

 

There is nothing like a single rock or acorn or something hitting a compressor wheel @ 50k rpms!

 

I didnt want to use it for horsepower gains. Im trying to free up some space instead of running a 4" pipe and filter. I was just wondering if anyone on here is using one on there daily driver and has no problems.

 

^, Try fitting your air filter directly to the turbo, that should free up some space.

 

I Thought about it but i think its going to look wiered with a big a** filter on it. i could run the hks filter but im not a fan of the green.

 

In the end filter is better than no filter.

 

yeah your right 3Rotor. I got the solution for my problem im going to run a filter screen that goes inside the stack to keep debre for going inside.

 

The screens will help keep large debris from getting into the compressor wheel and motor. The screen is still not enough for smaller particles such as dust.

 

HKS filters can be yellow, green, or purple. I think maybe blue too but I'm not sure.

I wouldn't run it without a filter especially as a daily but I know alot of people that put a simple screen over their turbo.

 

i live on a dirt road and all i'm running is a mesh screen. it used to be my DD until i bought another car, now i drive it about 1-2 times a week. i would put a filter but not enough clearance for it b/c of the distributor cap.

 

they make filters for them... just get those, it looks kinda like a sock that you stretch over the cone

 

What is the purpose of a velocity stack?

 

^ to look 'cool'.

thats about it. most people use them on show cars.
