the only place he could have it is at the mouth of the turbo or at least branch it off somewhere with piping and then put a filter at the end of that.
If you still haven't figured it out. The answer is no he doesn't

I had already assumed he didnt but for someone to put so much work into a car i am a little suprised he wouldnt have such a basic component added.
im more the less just asking if he had one interally added some where between the hot outlet of the turbo and the throttle body. no matter where a filter is it would still provide sufficient filtering.
i was just curious thats all

there is no need for a filter, this car is a trailer queen!! LOL jk
As long as you don't go into gravel roads or anything like that you are fine. Filter would probably get ripped up at 28lbs. lol

truth be told, Ive thought about doing something about it but then again, I don't really use the car that much. On the other hand I might have to put a filter given the fact that its such a basic component..

i suppose i do understand the fact that if its never driven out side of a perfect sunny day on dry roads then there is not much use to it. but as you just stated i have always thought of it to be such a common component to a car. but then again its probably not really needed and like whitesnowflake said, the filter would probably just be demolished under the vacuum inside haha!!! now what was meant to save your engine just ruined it!!
Im pretty sure the real reason is that it wont fit. He would have to move somethings out of the way but to do that just for a filter seems pointless to me.
It looks way better as it is.
