s65e90 is infamous around these parts
IMO these are for guys who don't drive in the rain.

Yeah, I remember the blitz filters from years ago would they let to much past and damage turbo? I know steel flows better than k&n but worth it? Can you get sizes that fit 3076’s? In the uk the filters you specify are Ł380 each

Just another quick question. I currently have SpeedTech hard inlet pipes. Believe they are 70mm but not 100% sure. For now, would they be very restrictive on the tials? Just want to get them bolted up and running now and then get all the bits for the next stage over the coming year

That's a great setup, you will be good sub 700 or 800 hp.

My concern is not really the piping but the single k&n filter that’s part of the agency power induction kit that’s on it

Really I want to run filter on turbo but just a little worried if I got caught out in a shower. I don’t drive it in the rain but you can always get caught in a shower in the uk even in summer

It's fine as long as it isn't on the ground, it should be sucking clean air from the top of the car..

If you have our Hi-Flow plenum on the upper end, which eliminates the restriction of the modified OEM plenum piece (modified to run our hard pipes), I feel you will be in very good shape. We have had several 3076 customers that had issues with the 3076 turbos choking on the OEM pipes, then went to our Hi-Flow plenum/pipes and problem solved.....Also, I switched from fender well K&N filters w/IC mounted BOV's to our Hi-Flow plenum/hard pipes w/diverter valves and saw no difference in power between the two styles, so they work very well. I think the short answer is you will be fine, especially if you have our Hi-Flow plenum, as it provides two distinct, smooth and unrestricted 70mm paths, one to feed each turbo. And no risk of injesting sand, rocks, etc. if you unknowingly lose or knock off a filter.

Hi, yes I do have the high flow plenum. Is the one k&n filter going to flow enough though?

If you mean the large flat K&N replacement filter with the AP dual inlet airbox cover, then yes, you should be in pretty good shape. That flat filter has a lot of surface area to allow air to enter the plenum. I would not hesitate to run that set-up. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
