Don't bother, it won't do anything except risk damage to the turbo. If you must then fit an S2000 paper cone filter.

Thanks ill have a look for one 

You won't gain any more power if you change the filter. I changed my dirty-ish paper one to a K&N panel whilst on a rolling road. I gained a massive 1.1BHP (0.5%). I'm sure there are people on here with modified engines (200+ BHP) who still use paper filters.

I think you'd have gained the same swapping the dirty paper element for a clean standard item.

 

Please bear in mind that on a turbodiesel you have to add fuel to make more power, not air because the amount of air is fixed by the ECU using the boost control solenoid in conjunction with the MAP sensor.

 

Induction kits are for petrol engines.

Cheers for the advice iv put a s2000 filter on and its been fine so far i purely did it just for the sound and the fact that it only cost me £14 but so far im loving the more deeper engine not.
