Looking for a very short Air filter...

With the placement of my turbo, I am going to need a very short air filter.
I just got back from Summit where they looked through an entire catalog of K&N filters only to find 1 that was short enough, but the wrong dia (was 5" on both ends of cone, not tapered).

The filter element cone needs to be 3.5" long.
The base of the cone needs to be 5" dia.
The tapered tip of the cone needs to be 4" dia.
inlet needs to be 3"
Where can I find a filter like this? I've seen them before!

what about those foam mushroom shaped filters I see on Supras a lot?
Is there an advantage to these mushroom filters vs. a cleanable K&N cone type?

there isnt really an advantage, they both do the same thing, the only real difference is that the foam can sometimes break up or burn under the heat,

the greddy turbo kit comes with a foam air filter so they are good enough to use on turbo aplications

found a site:

Here's the filter that should work... the base is angled 5° so that should help give me the clearance I needed.

Neat.

I found a knock off of my GReddy sponge filter... and it's RED instead of yellow, so I went ahead and ordered one. :lol:
