Hey guys quick question if I do away with my whole cold air intake system and put a filter straight on my turbo are there any gains to be had doing that?

On my old '06, there is an electronic sensor for the air temp on the housing. Removing this will throw off the computer. Is your filter housing electronic free ? And from what I understand removing the housing this will not help outside of giving you more room in that area. Plus for my truck, it would be a PITA getting the filter on / off for cleaning or replacing.

You would also be eliminating your air temp sensor and your MAP sensor if you do away with the tube. Not 100% but I'd assume you would have to contact your tuner and have them adjust your tunes accordingly. However I can't see any real gain from that other than you'd be sucking in hotter air since the filter would be trapped between the manifold/turbo/Exhaust.

Without having some sort of piping there's a chance of your filter collapsing from the suction
Yes and you have a MAF in the intake tube as well. That and you'll be sucking hot air in from the exhaust manifold. You need those sensors
