I think the Rover 45/MG ZS KV6 engine uses a long narrow filter of about those dimensions.

im suprised someone of your skills hasnt given the carbon making a bash yourself?lots of videos and guides on how to do it yourself these days.
i know its sometimes easier just to pay someone to make it as you could make more money in the time it takes to make

Andy, Porsche Cayenne Turbos use the kind of filter your after. Not sure on the exact dimensions though.

Jasmine Porschalink sell them for Ł14 each I think (Genuine Porsche). They are really helpful too so would probably measure one up for you.
