remove filter? remove dongle?
Hey guys. I've got the newest a&a dongle. Any power to be had by removing the filter off the dongle or is it just when you remove the entire thing and screen the blower?

Removing the filter only will give you more power

Take the dongle and filter off... The blower does not like anything in front of it.. Especially the bend of the dongle..
They really like having a velocity stack placed on the blower....worth 45 rwhp on my car over a 4" inlet pipe and filter

Whatever you do don't leave anything loose near the blower inlet.
Also don't leave the silicone coupler attached to the inlet of the blower by itself, as it will get sucked in and make contact with the impeller. Trust me if a cotton ball gets sucked in at 55,000+ impeller rpm it will act like a rock and tear up the impeller and could also trash the blower.
Here was a Ysi that was spinning at 68,000 impeller rpm when a dyno room fan cord was sucked in that was draped across the fender/blower area.
Here is a impeller that had the silicone coupler make contact at speed.

my car was tuned without a filter and mesh over the blower. i have no comparison numbers but with my butt dyno and watching the boost gauge i see no difference when running my 4" inlet and filter as to nothing with mesh.
id rather run with the filter anyway, one rock and there goes my motor/blower and a ton of $$$
now the stock dongle on the other hand sucks, put a 4" inlet and filter.
