The genuine HKS ones are bigger than the one in the pic, you can get 2, the one with green foam filter is still good up the 350 brake mark but you can get a one with yellow foam, this is the proper race one but its reall expensive, can get the green hks one for Ł160 for the full kit.

Try HKS Filters on e-bay and they should come up, GGR do the kits too

HKS filters are utter shite.

Dont filter fuck all barring bricks.

And generally, yes, miles too small, same as most jap cars air filters.

Can bolt any filter direct to the turbo, no problem with that.

The biggest of these pancake style filters would easy do 400bhp with no real restriction, but the style they made means they dont actually filter much at all.

Dunno if K+N do anything remotley pancake shaped you could adapt? They make soo many shapes and sizes its unbelivable.

k n filters are total shit on anything over 400 bhp fact
to flow 500 plus you need a min off 4 inch hose and a free flow filter
to flow 600 bhp would need a 5 inch inlet to turbo
to be unrestricive
