Somewhat A BHAF
Went in to Traction today (where I work) and got myself this air filter for the truck. I didn't want to wait to have them order in, or NAPA order in the regular ones that you guys run. So I just bought this one instead. It was fully enclosed except for the end where the intake tube hooks on. So I just took out my knife quickly and cut that square in it. I might cut some more from the bottom though. I also got some sheet metal and cut/made a heat shield for it, then welded them together using JB Weld. It is drying right now so it wont be on the truck until tomorrow. But anyways here are the pics, purchased it for $36 CDN, so about $34 US, It is regularly $68 CDN
Another thing before I head off to work. There has always been a small amount of oil coming through the turbo for about a couple of months, and you can see it near fins and behind where the silencer ring would be. This afternoon while changing my filter over I noticed a decent amount of oil on the back side of the intake compressor, near the oil tube on the bottom. I'm thinking that my turbo is soon ready to fall apart, so what should I do??
Thanks

I was just thinking, you could use that aluminum ducting tape to cover the side against the turbo. Voila, heat shield built in! Still liking that filter, even if you left it covered, it would be a good mud bogger filter.

Thanks Guys
Lil Dog, Yea thought it was a good idea to just get one this way, Figured I could just cut the plastic away as I did, and just build a heat shield out of scrap metal, or use your idea,lol. But being as my shield is already built I'll try that out and see how I like it. It probably would make a good mud air filter, even if it sat right there as is, or was on a snorkel of some sort. Once I get around 100km/h I can hear it hollowing a little bit(probably from the holes in the front), but once above like 110 the sound goes away due to other factors

Leaking seals on the compressor side are not good. The engine can inhale the oil and run on it, causing a runaway (depending on the amount of oil), and it can also puddle in your intercooler. You could replace it or rebuild/reseal it (kits go for around $80 on ebay IIRC).

Hmm, I will check at work on Tuesday and find out which part number it was. I can't remember too well right now being as we looked through the book just to find it. Once I know I will let you guys know. I know there was a couple other selections, just a different size if you would like smaller, wider, etc. So I will try to get those as well.
