I was wondering the same thing.  And if it is, do you need to remove the coolent tank to install the filter?

Which one is that?  The RU-1390 at www.turboste.com seems to be so large that you have to modify the coolant filler cap.  I would like something smaller so I don't need to cut anything.  Is the RU-1810 shorter?  Thanks.

I have the RU-1390 and all I had to cut was the piece of the coolant cap that sticks out for you to get ahold of. It's not really a big deal.

I got mine from a company on the internet(I think it was filters.com) for $34.95.

I didnt need to modify anything, just bolted right on it fits flush against the intercooler.

As far as I can tell one filter is round and the other is oval.  I just bought the round one, RU-1390, and it fit fine.  I needed to get a breather filter though.

The RU-1390 is actually an oval in shape.

Is it oval, maybe I got the wrong filter.  The one I got from the parts store is about 7 or 8 inches in length, has about a 4 inch diameter and the mounting flange is angled slightly, and I am sure I told him to order RU-1390 instead of RU-1810.  I will have to see if I got the right filter when I get home.

Mountinf flange on the 1390 is angled 20*.

Ok,  I got everything straightened out, they gave me the wrong filter.  I now have RU 1390, but my only question is, did yuo just mount it directly to the filter?  It looks to me that the rubber flange part is a slight bit bigger in diameter than the turbo inlet.  WIll the filter be ok if I just tighten the clamp on to the turbo?  Or should I put a piece of rubber between the fitler flange and the turbo for a tighter fit?

I am not sure I understand your question. You will slip the Filter over the metal portion of the turbo. This is the same place you removed the flexible stock hose from the turbo inlet. I would think you can use the old worm gear clamp that was on the original inlet hose to tighten it in place. I don't have one of those filters, but I don't think you will need a reducer. Anyone else who has this filter...please step in if I am wrong.

I have the 1390 and all you need to do is tighten the clamp down on the turbo inlet. The filter flange is slightly larger but it will squeeze down. Have a look at mine.

Does K&N make one like this but with the 20* angle?

I would think they make something like it. Check K&N's website.

Thanks for the help.  I tightened down on the clamp and it seems to stay fine.  Did you order a breather from K&N?  All I did was go to Pepboys and buy the breather that they had there.  It was only ten bucks, and it fit perfectly to the metal tube that the original breather tube was attached too.
