Which type of air filter is best for the MR2 turbo?
A panel air filter or a open air filter?
Normally you would say a open air filter, but with the MR2 the air intake is at the driver's side sideskirt and not in the front bumper as seen in many other performance cars.
The airbox toyota build for our cars leads directly to this air intake. so I was wondering if a panel type airfilter isn't better than an open air filter.
Because it seems to me that in the case of the MR2 with the engine in the middle, and the air intake at the side of the car an open air filter would be bottered to much by the engine bay temperture, which will cost HP instead of increasing it... Or am I seeing this the wrong way?
